You are speaking my language with this essay! Brilliantly done, thank you. I wish more people recognized the microbes hard at work all around (and inside) us.
On my own little mini-farm I've seen a tremendous shift in critter activity as I slowly restore native plants, reduce tillage, and use more cover crops at various times of the year. It's quite a thing to just sit quietly in the garden and listen to the sounds of the bees and insects buzzing and finding nectar well into the last weeks of autumn. Each year feels like an opportunity to learn more about them. I can't wait to see what they teach me next.
Many thanks to you Sam for your inspiring leadership on the need for a major shift in our food production paradigm. Your writing here on Substack, and your real-world impact through your farming and conservation work, all matter greatly. I recognize and applaud all your efforts and sacrifices for that vital cause! 👏🌱
I know we're not supposed to need external validation, and certainly my mission is my compass, but sometimes even just the slightest recognition can boost morale.
Your kindly words are a bright spot in my day and I thank you for following along!🙏
The people who say we shouldn't need validation for our efforts are idiots! Even us super-independent types (just guessin'!) perk up at a kind word now and again. Cheers Sam!

Yesssss!!! One of my favorite things is just to BE in nature and listen to the insects (and other wildlife) at work all around us!
Thank you Robin!

Yes!!! And to see mind in nature, so we can learn from its wisdom…
