Take heart even us older folks can make adjustments and adapt principles of managing soil, water, and regenerative gardening. Maybe even passive solar if we’re expecting a grid down apocalypse. Our family dropped out in our younger days, learned survival skills, worked within the system to raise our kids, and semi-dropped out once again in the middle of a suburban acreage we lucked out to find in 2019. Regardless of how much we try to destroy the Earth it remains. Complete with natural cycles which can be frightening but we come from long lines of survivors.

And even though we live in a psychologically disturbed time and may live under the impression we as older folks are expendable it is quite noticeable as we pay attention that although our young companions raise eyebrows, act disinterested, laugh, act bored with us who don’t fit easily in their Instagram world, in fact they need us more than ever. In the midst of this dystopian scramble for survival we are their repository of strength, wisdom and paths toward survival. We are their families. In a world of those who don’t remember - we do.
