PERMACULTURE Organic Design Process Interdependent levels at work

Earthworks, Spaciing, Energy, Vegitation, Animals, Trees

EARTHWORKS all functions of earth energy

*TERRAIN - the shapes, slopes, hills, ridges, peaks, valleys,

*Geology - the rock formations, mineral content,movements

*Soil - depth of top soil, fertility, the minerals, humus, worms, animal droppings, compost, chemicals, etc

*Structures - buildings, homes, barns, greenhouse, trellis, fences, ponds, roads, paths, trails, walls, poles, sheds, compostoilet, outhouse

SPACING & up & down, in circles, spirals & waves

*ZONING - the zones 1-5 out from a structure, closest to farthest we see, contact, design, use, shape, plant, learn, inhabit, build & water.

*Stories/levels - the vertical dimensions of space from soil/rock to tree tops=canopy of leaves & shade

*Movements of people & animals, water & wind thru spaces

ENERGY FIELDS

*AIR - the air quality/purity, wind flows, sounds, openess,

*FIRE - open fire, electricity, light, heat, radiation, sounds,

*WATER - all moisture = wetness, rain, snow, flows, pooling,

*EARTH - the structures of tensions/compression, size, cost heaviness, gravity, depth, hardness, textures, wood permanence, metal, tools, friction, falling, lava, rust

VEGITATION - all plants on land, in air, water, earth structures & flowing

*Plants -seeds, roots, grass, vegies, trees, fruit, flowers, perennial, wild, annuals, guilds of natural companion species growing strong together in cooperation.

*Growing - fertilitzing, watering, mulching, watching, loving, weeding

*Fooding - growing & using any natural creatures for sharing/eating, organic gardens, fields, orchards, vines, grasses, herbs, drying, wildcrafting, gathering, harvesting, sorting, cooking, healing,

ANIMALS - all mammels, pets, wild, bugs, reptiles, fish, birds, fowl, bees, cattle(cows, sheep, lamas, goats, etc) worms free & in pens, algae,

*TREES - native & planted stands, age, size, species, density, light/shade, seed/cones, birds, chipmonks, flowering, studying, windbreaks, playing, climbing, sitting, hanging hamocks, treeshouses, etc, gathering treelitter/mulch, bark, wood harvesting selectively

NIFy trees- nitrogen fixing plants absorb airborn nitrogen into roots feeding the green growth for photosynthesis

ECOForstry - the organic process of sustainable managing a forest eco- system by us observing &* respecting nature & selective harvest

ANIMALS RELATIONS

How close RU to animals now?

at home or in wild lands & flows

of water & wind howls & blows

or pets or cattle, U can ride now?

- = - = - = - = - = - = - = - =

Do you like or hate, love or tolerate?

animals that smell, bugs that bite?

like Gaias buzzing sexing bees in flite

that pollinate flowers to grow plants

in cosmic fractal chaos infinite!

- = - = - = - = - = - =

Do flys or bees or spiders bug you?

do you dread or like snakes or mice?

ever massage a mammel, a cat purrs

or play witha dog, barks, licks your?......

-= - = - = - = - -

Millions of us communicate with animals

sleep with pets in bed dreamy curls

even know wild animals come to call

or eat your pets at home inside walls?

=-- = - = - = - = - = - = -

Morphic resonance connects us all

aware pets know we’re coming home

before we get there, they feel our aim

in Gaias cosmic fields of energy games

= - = - = - = - = - = -

R U open to meeting & touching animals?

or playing with your animal nature wild?

ducks, rats, snakes, frogs, racoons & birds

possoms, squnks, squirrels or bears in your yard

-=-= - = - = - = - = = - = - =

R U equal with animals or primals kids energy

different & the same as us, paradox wiggling

in our psychic universe pulses with vitality

our instincts guide us free of stiff techy city.
