“…the perspective that fermentation and plant use - as medicine, as psychotropics, as teachers, as companions on our life path - are an inescapable part of our exploration of what it means to be human; that, in fact, our humanness (as we now understand it) could not have occurred without the gift of fermentation or plants.” - Buhner.

My personal project is the “re-indigenousization” of the self. Part of that is simply living more with plants as food, friend and fellow traveler on the way. Certainly there are more pieces to the puzzle and some I haven’t contemplated but they will become more clear as I grow into it.

It’s raining now as I look out to the back at my nearly empty planter boxes and field. My mind is slowly prepping the configuration of plots, vegetables, companion plants, and herbs that will be the early spring garden. All regards to Michael Winn but this feeling is a true “inner smile”.
