The design principles of permaculture have provided a framework for connecting a lot of different goals and interests in my life, including growing lots of food for my family, addressing food security in the community, and even my work as a community organizer. I find joy in recognizing that the design principles are grounded in the patterns of nature, and these are also interesting frames from which to see the world. I find comfort in the spiral pattern, knowing I will gain new knowledge and experience but return again to remember lessons learned.
