#Introduction
I've been on Mastodon for quite some time now, but under another name. I started a new account because I decided to take a step back from world news, collapse, climate change, hunger, war, fascism and inequality.
In short less doom and gloom and a little bit of positive small scale projects that might also inspire or help others.

With this account I'll focus more on my day to day life, the things I do and make.

Of course I sometime still will post concerning subjects that provoke my rage or frustration. Sorry, it's not all moonshine and roses.

Having said that, I've a broad range of subjects that have my interest, so hopefully something useful will stick with you.

From my profile text:

#Collapse aware person, born @ 320 ppm CO2, world population 3.1 billion.

Fighting depression and #sadness by doing some positive and small scale things that might help people.

Too many interests, like:
#DIY #SelfReliancy #LowTech #gardening #food #fermentation #preserving #ReUse #ReCycle #ReThink #WoodWork #electronics #MicroControllers #Taoism #Cycling #reading #photography

PRO: #sharing #local #ecocentric
NO: #capitalism #states

How long do we really live?

I needed a laugh today, so I read some "Dude de Ching"

I’m just re-reading some Taoist texts for the nth time, and had the thought that the Icelandic unofficial motto “þetta reddast” (roughly: it will all work out in the end) and Taoist principle of “wu wei” (roughly: doing without forcing) have an awful lot in common.

I wonder if there’s any kind of connection or it’s just a parallel cultural evolution. They’re certainly disconnected in time.

[Verse 1]
The highest good is like water,
It nourishes all, asks for no praise.
Dwelling low, where others won’t bother,
It finds the strength no pride betrays.
[Verse 2]
The sage does not speak, yet all obey,
He acts without striving, and clears the way.
He teaches by being, not saying much,
His silence forms mountains that hearts can touch.
