As I read this I am at an ERC (ecosystem restoration community) in Ireland called Siolta Chroi. The name means Seeds of the Heart. These past few days I’ve been living close with the family who heads up the stewardship of this land. Are we making Eden or are we making Empire? How do we know? How do we know when we are free?

Anyway, we are on our way to Eden, and we can’t get there without getting truly free, I agree. This song came to me while on this month of connecting hearts around the British Isles. A last little part I was playing with found its beautiful shape one morning and I was sharing it with the folks here. It says:

Wend…. wend…

Where do we go from here?

Where do we go from here?

I am trembling as a leaf on the tree.

Let this great wind carry me.

Oh, I can’t stay. I must move on.

One more gust and I’m gone.

Hope to sing with you someday. Please check out ecosystem restoration communities. www.erc.earth

Reading this felt like someone handed me a blueprint for a party and a revolution at the same time. The image of a global house party to kick off a Caring Economy is wild and kind of irresistible. Eden doesn’t sound like an abstract dream here, it sounds like a potluck with music, kids running around, and neighbors actually caring for each other. If that’s the map, I’m in.
