Link in bio for a signed copy. ... #repost @adriansteirn ... We were once a village. That village was a community. It required us to look squarely into each other’s eyes and get along. Make it work. We needed to farm sustainably because being a village we couldn’t import goods. We needed to run family businesses because nobody knew dairy like your grandfather. Nobody knew natural medicine like our mother. Our economy relied on word of mouth and trust. We grew what we could eat and a little bit more. We were kind to our animals because we relied upon them. Farm to table was all we knew. Direct conversation was all we had. Dialogue was everything in the village because we couldn’t rely on anybody else to sort our problems. It wasn’t a perfect village but it was home. We self regulated because to let things become too polarising meant that our village ground to a halt. We didn’t all agree with our neighbours but we all got along. We once had a village and our village was one of many villages that inhabited planet earth. Our village wasn’t special but it was the village we knew. Now our planet is a village. A huge anonymous village. Everybody has a voice but nobody is truly heard. Instead of speaking to each we all shout at each other on the internet. Brave and opinionated hiding behind hashtags and emojis. Our leaders no longer lead but play politics. Economics trump morality. Instead of respecting our elders we worship technology. Rather than live in our natural world we live atop of Mother Nature. Our food isn’t sustainable. We manufacture more than we need and less than we want. We aren’t interested in getting along because we have forgotten how to be kind. Our village is filled with inequality, gender bias, religious dogma and aggression. We pretend we are in control but we are scared and our village doesn’t feel like home anymore. We once were a village and we have no choice but to go back to being what a village truly is founded upon. Community, kindness and compromise. Globalisation means our planet is a village. It’s to rebuild our village.」4月27日 8時12分
