Unfortunately I have not had much time to keep current on the blog. Working full time in Cubicle Central has really reduced the energy I have available to read and write about the things I love. What time and daylight that I have available to me I have been devoting to my own garden projects as well as designs I am working on with others.
I might be able to figure a way to be more habitual about blog writing, but forming new habits out of limited resources is one thing that I have found to be very difficult. It is a skill I would dearly like to learn, the skill of adding little by little to a goal. A few minutes of habitual work each day, building on the efforts of the past and over time and hopefully yielding an incredible return. But right now I am stuck in the paradox where the small efforts seem futile and puny, and I do not yet have the satisfaction of a project that successfully came to completion as a multitude of tiny efforts. I lack that ant-like determination, so I want dreams to be reality…..NOW. It doesn’t help that as your typical creative specialized generalist I also have lots of potential projects that I could be working towards….ooooh how to prioritize….that is the gazillion dollar question.
And honestly, I haven’t had much material to share on the blog these days. I try to offer either my own direct experience with ecological/edible landscaping, or a unique perspective on things that I feel isn’t getting much play in the landscaping and permaculture infospheres. Since I haven’t had the time to be more active in these realms, the available writing material has been sparse.
So here’s to me figuring out how to work blog writing back into my schedule in a sustainable way. I’ll be puzzling this one over, and if I succeed….well, then you’ll be hearing more regularly from me going forward.
