Chego em frente do mar, das suas ondas,
das marés que setembro enfurece, dos cinzentos
e azuis que alternam com verdes estranhos;
uma voz trata da loucura, ou do olhar vazio
dos peixes, ou de um tema ressequido como as algas
da maré baixa; um vento percorreu a praia,
no silêncio da tarde, devolvendo ao corpo das águas
uma unidade antiga. O mar, no entanto, supõe
que o esqueçam. Nos seus fundos dormem as imagens
que o sonho já não guarda; braços que se agarram
aos mastros do naufrágio. Um barco abstracto
passou devagar pelo horizonte que a manhã não viu,
entrando no outro lado da terra, esquecido
por instantes da música dos portos. O poema, disseram-me,
ignorou essa distracção: atravessou
o limite da eternidade, vestiu-se com as palavras
nocturnas, deixou que a morte o contaminasse.
À beira-mar, não dou por isso; e digo-o,
devagar, repetindo em voz baixa
todas as suas contradições.
.
I stand before the sea, before its waves,
before the tides stirred by September, before the grays
and blues that alternate with strange greens;
a voice speaks of madness, or of the empty gaze
of fish, or of a topic dried up like seaweed
at low tide; a wind swept the beach
in the silence of afternoon, restoring an ancient unity
to the body of the waters. The sea, meanwhile, thinks
it has been forgotten. Its depths guard the images
no longer preserved in dreams, arms that grasp
onto shipwrecked masts. An abstract ship
sails slowly over the horizon that the morning didn’t see,
passing to the other side of the earth, oblivious
for the time being to the music of the ports. The poem,
I was told, didn’t notice this distraction: it crossed
the boundary of eternity, donned nocturnal
words, and allowed death to contaminate it.
From the shore I don’t perceive this; and I recite it
slowly, repeating in a low voice
all of its contradictions.

OK, I scanned it an am not paying for the large portrait. -- so I'm going to school portrait hell, as we're honestly not that big on the formal portrait. So we scanned it, but rationalize a gray safe zone as we purchased one sheet formatted as plastic key chain holders for the cost of a small sushi dinner.

Permaculture ethics in context.
Stuck in here, is my scrappy little session plan poster for the ethics part of Introductory permaculture sessions. In note form, it speaks thus:
PERMACULTURE is ACTION informed by ETHICS, PRINCIPLES and DESIGN.
Principles and Design have their own posters and sessions and take a long time, but ethics is quite easy to summarise:
ETHICS are LIVING WITHIN LIMITS informed by FAIR SHARES, EARTH CARE and PEOPLE CARE.
To spell out “living in limits” see the diagrams of carrying capacity of any system, population dynamics of any system, and ecological footprints.
“Fair shares” refers to a more equitable distribution of resources, surplus, labour, power, responsibility and knowledge. These and other cmmodities, shared fairly within and between communities. Currently, none of these resources are equitably distributed amongst the human population of the world, so let’s get straight to the fact that the transition process of Permaculture is a very ambitious one.
Many projects feel overwhelmed by this ethic, and focus all their attention on another one, “Earth Care”.
Earth care breaks down into action, and inaction.
Under inaction we have the ambitions to consume less, and leave refuges for other life (plants, animals, fungi etc) un-harvested or “managed” by humans.
Under action we have the repair of degraded ecosystems (for example, land compressed by years of ploughing, strip-mining for minerals or deforested) and maximal use of human-hosting spaces. The term “intensive use” is unpopular, with its implications of unsustainability, but appropriate when balanced out by wider ecological awareness of sustainable land use (The cycling of minerals and water, and inputs and outputs managed at a complementary and sustainable pace).
People Care is the ambition of caring for, and considering the needs of:
Ourselves
Our communities
Other communities
Future communities
In terms of
Health,
Subsistence
Protection
Autonomy
Creativity
Learning/growth
inclusion/participation
Freedom of speech
Freedom of movement
Freedom of identity
There is an assumption that what is good for eco-systems, is also good for human systems: Diversity, Resilience, Flexibility, Mutual Feedback, Living within environmental Limits...
And so the ethics all tangle into each other nice and messily, just like a natural forest edge. For me the recommendations which follow from the assertion that was is good for ecosystems is good for human systems, are action, awareness, advocacy, humility, sharing, planning, empowering and talking about the contradiction between “capital” and the finite earth (The one closed system). Particular tools which I go on to describe are consensus decision making, facilitation and non-hierarchical organising. These three topics all blur into each other, just like a rich understanding of the three ethics do.
