make local happen

Reverand inspires us to reassert our own agency in the making of local.

In the fearless carving up of a dysfunctional matrix. In the application of sensible foresight in the redesign of our particular places.

Imagine! 

there are no more lawn mowers.

There are no more lawns. What happens? 20 years of bushy shrubs.

We can be the shrub nijas, those who cultivate young systems of successsion.
Spported by this bushy understory, practicing sustainable harvesting, we are nimble and adapted to a system in flux.

Already the thistles grow tall in abandoned lots, already the roads are clogged with gridlock for hours of every day. But neighborhoods are strong. Relationships are strong. Thigh muscles are strong. Topsoil is strong!

Advice to young people: ADAPT to the 20 year bushy period.
build smaller fires, cut smarter trails, craft strategic partnerships.
Be a part of growing a better, more resilient future of cathedral oaks and mature local economies. Become attuned to the possibilities of the present, and the responsibilities of the process of reafforestation of our society.

Make what you need ( as much as you can)

Love who you feed ( with your products and with your dollars)

Steer clear of greed ( it'll only get you in trouble anyway)

REv. Billy.
we'll be in your church for the foreseeable.
