There is no beginning

I was sitting here trying to write my blog with the words ‘Begin it now’ swirling round my head. So I went down to the greenhouse to think and there I found the first ripe tomato of the year. Having grounded myself  it struck me that, with growing, the principle behind a truly sustainable and organic system is that there is no beginning and no end point. From the decomposition in compost to the nutrients transformation in forming a new fruit. The beginning is merely the initial point you view the cycle from. And so I begin it now but from the wider context – from greenhouse to internet even these words are just part of a wider cycle.

    Dear Alice,

    arriving back home from the Do Lectures I wondered what to bring home to my own blog, concerned with environmental and sustainablity issues. I found this wonderful text from you and just directly put it on my site, in german translation…
    Please keep me in touch about your forthcoming book, I would love to publish it!

    Dirk
