Profundity

Today was a lovely and busy day at the Earthship Education Facility.  Lots of curious, patient people waiting for answers and assistance with their merchandise.  There was a theme of people wanting to get involved in building today.  I love it when people want to build self-sustainable homes with solar compost toilets or otherwise.

Profound question for the day:

What is the most important thing you've learned working here?

Hmmm....

What it means to do something for the greater good.  There will always be interpersonal dynamics and things I could complain about like living out of a cooler for half a year.  But they're all so trivial compared to doing amazing things together for the planet, for each other, and for ourselves.  You learn to set your ego aside and just love doing really amazing things together.

I am paraphrasing myself, but I hope you get the general jist.
