Hey everyone, I hope this month is treating you all well. I don't know about you but I have been wanting to burrow deeper into the sheets and take on some additional rest. Most of the time, I’m trying to convince myself that it’s okay that I still want to burrow. Every time I give in, it is confirmed that it is exactly what I needed before this season jumps off and I’m so grateful that I’ve given in to my intuition to just take rest. As humans, we can busy ourselves, trying to systemize everything…and don’t get me wrong it is important to plan and to know when to plant what and at what time. However, sometimes no matter how much we try to control it, nature comes in and reveals to us who is really in control. Wind storms come in and destroy our caterpillar tunnels, an unexpected frost stunts most of our seedlings or it could be as simple as, we are busy with everyday life and forget to bump up our plants so some of our potential seedlings become rootbound. For the small-scale farmer and gardener who is trying to increase productivity, it seems imperative to rationalize and create a scientific system that optimizes the growing season. However, what would it feel like if we relied on our gut instinct more? If we just observed and learned what works on our land or in our area. Yes, it would be a slower process, one that was based on trial and error but would be something that we could personally speak on because it becomes a lived experience. There are coined terms such as regenerative, permaculture, restorative, etc. that are thrown around and used in our food system, what they are really speaking of is an indigenous way of being that is in tune with the land… with nature! This is not a new phenomenon ~ this is an ancestral remembering. We’re seeing health issues at an all-time high and it is only when a natural disaster takes place that most correlate it to the large-scale ways of interfering and adding artificial inputs that annihilate the microorganisms within the soil and within our gut. We must all awaken our intuition if we are going to see a true transformation in the food system. For more information and relevant topics, follow Ta’rin’ii @lionesswildcrafted. Stay in tune… In service, Ta’rin’ii
