I've just listened to an edition of Scott Mann's The Permaculture Podcast where he interviews David Holmgren.
It reminds me that, only 100 km from Moora Farm, there lives a man of transcendent creativity and wisdom. I have met the man, been to his property Melliodora, and have a number of his books. His Permaculture: Principle and Pathways beyond Sustainability is as precious a book as I own. You can buy it from his site.
During the podcast Holmgren talks about some important things - including his justification (?) for being a 'practitioner' as well as a theorist / teacher. The further I go on life's journey, the more sure I am that what we do is so much more important than what we say.
He also talked about the limitations of reductionist science - in his quiet, wise way. It seems to me that scientific triumphalism is one of the errors of our age - possibly exceeded in cost only by the practical chaos that results from treating economics as a science - rather than the dangerously narrow philosophical speculation that it is.
Anyway - enough pontificating for one morning! I need to do something practical.
