"If you're in a bad situation, don't worry, it'll change. If you're in a good situation, don't worry, it'll change."
-- John A. Simone Jr.
Sustainability Defined
It is a process. It is a call and response.
Ripples on the surface of a pond and the slowly sinking stone.
It is the steady rising crescendo of housing markets and the sudden cymbal crash. Wild commodity price fluctuations are freak globally-warmed wind storms.
These things happen. They and we are cause and effect. Sustainability is what it is. What it needs to be simultaneously now and 100 years from now.
Shifting paradigms, new model of ancient learning & practice it asks us to integrate: what was, what is, what will be.
Way of life, way of living, sacred wedding of economy and ecology. Each really the other, both really patterns of growth, subsidence and exchange.
Baseline of abundance, sustainability is an art demanding deep awareness, constant creativity, control, discipline and compassion.
It is the how of who we are and what we do.
A process. A call and response. It is the opportunity
of a lifetime.
