Beave bought me a book called “Zen and Permaculture”

I had low expectations from this thin paperback, but was pleasantly surprised by how much inspiration I took from it.

The most important reminder it gave me is that permaculture (and everything in life really) must be based on having the right intentions, and understanding why we have those intentions.

We’re approaching our final weeks in the UK before we fly to Mexico, and I just found this page where I mapped our intentions for La Colina, with explanations why our intentions for La Colina include:

• Nature
• Abundance
• Health and Active Lifestyle
• Community
• Art
• A Home for Jayne and Beave
