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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
