Most of our problem-solving instincts point upward — toward what's missing from above, what needs to arrive from outside before things can move. It's a deeply ingrained reflex.
The inversion: the capacity to generate what's needed was always internal to the system. What's been lost isn't the external input — it's the system's ability to do what it was already doing.

The great #MasanobuFukuoka, who was the holy fool of 20th century farming, pointed out that we don't actually grow plants cos they grow themselves. That's true of this oca (Oxalis tuberosa) who shows up and grows herself with zero interference from me. She's excellent ground cover for the kale so now I've got a whole bed that just gives me a bunch of food for zero effort.
