Today\u2019s Contemplation: And Now For Something Completely Different, Part\u00a02<\/h3>\n

January 4, 2023 (original posting date)<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Going to \u2018try\u2019 and take a bit of a break from my self-indulgent Contemplation posts and specifically the energy series I began (see here for Part 1<\/a>, Part 2<\/a>). I do attempt to take time to reflect upon and do additional reading when I\u2019m in \u2018the writing zone\u2019 so it takes some significant personal time and energy, that I tend to have more of during the Canadian winter months when my food gardening chores are on hold.<\/p>\n

The break is to pursue some \u2018action\u2019 on my part\u200a\u2014\u200asomething I am attempting to do more of. I am initiating a Food Gardener\u2019s Guild in my local community and wish to put my energies into that for the next week or more (in between my hockey playing). I threw the idea out this morning to local residents on our community\u2019s Facebook group and got a resounding positive response in the first hour or so.<\/p>\n

In light of this, I will be devoting some time to trying to get this off the ground.<\/p>\n

However, having written a few chapters in the fourth book of my fictional novel series (that stalled a few years ago but have ready), I will share some of these over the next little while. Here are the links to PDF files of Chapter 1<\/a> (shared a few days ago), and now Chapter 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
