The city burned.
From the destruction leapt green things.
Sprouts from seed that had waited so long
for calamity, now celebrated in the rubble.
Grasses grew up where the asphalt buckled,
cracks became luminous streams to feed new
populations. The sun overhead gleamed.
Beings pushed aside concrete and brick,
stretched out their wings and sang a new
world into being.
The city reflected in the star’s gaze
the House of Esctasy.

Here is a really inspiring interview with Bill Mollison about Permaculture:
http://www.seedsofchange.com/cutting_edge/interview.asp
One of the interesting points he raises is how permaculture is designed to assist the land in producing food. Most people (myself included) are turned off by the idea of long hours of hard work in the field. I am definitely not a farmer! Yet I see the pressing need for us all to start growing our own food and not wait till we absolutely have to. Understanding the concepts of permaculture will greatly enhance whatever projects you have in mind for your land and will help you to porduce more food with less work.
