"To prepare for the future, we
can love the present"
Larry Santoyo
The future is abundant, asserts permaculture designer Larry
Santoyo.
His vision of living in the present suggests an antidote to fear about
uncertain times and the future. Humans can rediscover that they are
a part of the ecosystem, and apply permaculture design principles to
the
many problems we face. Larry teaches sustainable permaculture
design as a discovery of the world around us.
Santoyo credits his early training as a police officer for giving him
some of his most profound human insights. Trained to respond to
stressful situations with calm, clear thinking, and keen observation
skills while staying centered in the present, he was able to help those
in distress while keeping them and himself out danger.
In our eco-anxiety ridden times many are also in distress with
stressors
that threaten to endanger and paralyze us. But Santoyo suggests
that we needn't let these fears shape us, but instead by choosing what
we
love about the present, and developing useful skills to benefit
ourselves
and others, we have a solid foundation upon which to build the future.
