many hands make light work

This permaculture principal was uttered today while in our Ostara lunch circle. Principle number 8, integrate rather than segregate ("many hands make light work"). Sometimes after our community meals we have a blitz clean. Thats when everyone chips in about 15 minutes of clean up time and the whole kitchen is clean in about 30 minutes. Otherwise we have a rotating schedule with 2 people cleaning up for 1.5 hours.

This principle is also the one that I have taught in 4 PDC classes (Permaculture Design Certificate). I teach it in relation to 'kids in the community'. Integrate the kids rather than segregating them. That is much easier siad than done for me. When I am working, I really like to focus on what I am doing. Ideally, Ama would be home schooled or unschooled and right now she is in public school.

hmmm

there is alot I could say about this.

I just want to leave it at that for now.

My biggest struggle, and yet, the topic that I teach others....
