I really like what Sam has to say here about time, and our relationship with plants. He is absolutely right, the experience of going out into the fields and forests and gathering something like blackberries is totally invaluable.

And I don't know about the rest of society, but staining my fingers in blackberry juice is a top priority every summer : D

Wow, some nice philosophies in this episode. I think some excellent arguments are made, here!

Sunny I was blessed that our paths crossed when we had breakfast here together in Santa Maria. I am hoping to see you again at the Chumash Pow Wow. I would like to talk to you about a couple of things. E-mail me if you get a chance.
