Hello @wildhomesteading !

Thank you for this impressive article that I read with a lot of emotion ! The actions you take and have taken are much more than a drop of water, rather the volume of a carafe ;-))) I really like the classification your 3 different levels : "Individual, Local and Societal." I think it's really perfect !

I also particularly agree with this passage as well : "Direct action can often be cathartic." This is what I feel deeply when I collect garbage and sow wild seeds in the city... You're really lucky to have a farm on this property that looks like it, and that you've made so beautiful ! And I realize what it took effort and willingness to get there! I come from France and I dream of settling in the countryside to create a bastion of resilience, I am still young but I hope to be able to start in the next five years! I've never been to the United States before, but if the opportunity presents itself (I hope so !) I would love to come and see your accomplishments !

Thanks again for your article, you made my day ! ...and please pardon my lack of reactivity :)

Be well you and your family !

yours,
@anttn
