Dear Openhand family,

It's very curious. Just yesterday I was wondering to myself (and Tilly) how Openhand would deal with the inundation of masses dealing with the confusion of everything breaking down. And when had a long conversation with some of my colleagues on the futility of the Matrix and it's shenanigans,they started defending the way things are...

In the midst of this, I have a freezer full of veggies from the last growing season, store of rice and lentils (that's a very Indian practice) and have started to make a small seed bank. I am planning to grow micro greens for vitamins and minerals and harvested lettuce and bok choy seeds. It felt like a very aligned morning, with working the soil, planting seeds, and re-potting a number of plants.

What I see of the populace around me, they will probably go into to headless chicken mode (or worse) once things start to fall apart. The poor in my country will actually do quite well because they don't get anything from the system anyways and still have skills to survive. The cities full of people disconnected from the Earth... I suspect it's not going to be pretty.

It's happening. In so many ways it's such a relief. Let's get on with it, then

:)
