Lierre Keith, writing in Mother Earth News, ask us to “repair, restore, rejoin. Repair the broken prairie, all 400 million acres, one holding at a time if we have to.”
If Lierre is correct, and it takes a village to raise a prairie, to grow topsoil, then where is the village? Lawrence, Kansas is nicknamed the Berkeley of the Midwest, good enough for me! Who is going to populate this proposed village, or perhaps ‘settlement’ is a better term? Seems like an awesome opportunity for a transition-type cluster of farmsteads to flourish. So who is interested? It may take this family some time to organize and arrange it, but it looks feasible. Think about it, OK?

Well isn’t this interesting. I’ve signed up for a blog and now I can’t think of where to start. There is so much I want to say. There is so much that’s happened lately that requires commentary. There is so much that I would handle differently in Women’s Studies if I could simply choose which courses, which books and which concepts I would cover. There is so much I have to share on what I’ve found in planning for a future that includes radical feminism — and staying warm, too! Kachelofen, or masonry heaters. Earthships and bermed homes. And Lierre Keith’s positive plan to sequester carbon brilliantly by planting bison on the tallgrass prairie. And the wonderful books I’ve read. More, soon, after I’ve explored this beast called WordPress.
