Permaculture principles set in music.
Dear all, the permaculture Group from Australia has set the 12 permaculture principles to music. I am impressed with the simplicity of these songs. I will post one principle every day for you to read and enjoy. Should wish to have a copy of this album you can buy it online from the panya project.org website- formidable vegetable sound system. Here we go.....
Permaculture principle 1: Observe and Interact - Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The beginning of the design process.
lyrics:
Everything you need
is right in front of you
When you learn to see
good things come to you
All you have to do is stop
and take a look around
Before you intervene
don’t do anything
Come to all your senses
They’ll tell you everything
First you have to learn to stop
and take a look around.
Take a look around
Listen to the sound
Why not take a whiff?
You’ll see much better if
you use more than just your eyes
Take a step outside
if you wanna know
What your soil is like
and what is gonna grow
All you have to do is stop
and take a look around
Take a look around
Get your hands into the ground
Don’t be scared of the dirt
it isn’t gonna hurt
and if you’re braver, try the flavour!
Take a handful of land
and go on, squeeze it in your hand
Then check out the display
If it stays together, it’s clay
and if it falls apart, it’s sand.
Take a look, take a look, take a look
read the landscape like a book
Interact, low impact, get your feedback when you
Take a look around
abundance will abound
The problem is the solution
just depends on your perception
gotta change yourself before the world
Take a look around
on the inside and the out
cos when you observe yourself
you see everything else
Make good use of it now. |
