Take care of our old, take care of our young, make hay while the sun shines.

Permaculture and Feng Shui number 2

Collecting and storing energy -

Recognizing energy sources and working with them is finding the sun, winding a spring, following a stream or catching the wind.  There is energy in the moon coming up in the evening. Stored energy is hay or a good pond or a woodpile,  Permaculturists would like to grow gardens everywhere and slow down flowing water so that it has a chance to percolate and infiltrate, reducing erosion and increasing soil moisture.
