Ashley Aymond, Natural Building Network, 20 July 2009
Upon returning from a recent visit to Louisiana, I experienced a deep sadness as I realized the culture shift needed for my home to be healed. I also sensed a great opportunity and responsibility, both of myself and others in the sustainability movement. What does it mean to be a natural builder? Build houses, build nature, build community? I felt strongly that it was all of these.
It was from this place that I felt an urgency to act, and to inspire others to act. A small box in the corner of my heart was opening once again, the place where I keep my most sacred dreams. Dreams that poke their heads out only when there’s a chance that they might be realized.
