Choosing to take part in a gift economy means to give generously without expecting anything in return and to trust that what you need will be given to you. This last part may not be directly from the person to whom you gave, but in a way that reinforces the interconnectedness of all beings.

If you go out into your garden now and meet the humble plants that pop out first thing in the spring, they can teach you a lot about starting fresh. Dandelion pushing out of a corner of a building or between the cracks of a sidewalk can teach you about resilience, strength, and determination.

Drinking your morning cup of coffee or tea is a reminder that when we are talking about “consuming” or a world “addiction” to fossil fuels, we are not just using metaphors. We are talking of our own physical body and of diverse experiences of smells and tastes that have a personal and a global meaning – a meaning that is highly important to know if we are to make informed decisions.

Agriculture is not just the business of farmers but also the culture of each and every one of us, simply because all of us need to eat in order to sustain our life.

The image of the human being as a threefold being is central in what Rudolf Steiner called the “essential nature of man”. In that image man meets the world through three different venues: through his senses he observes and develops concepts or thoughts of the world, through his feelings he develops likes and dislikes toward the world, and through his will power he toils and thereby becomes one with the world.
