When working with living systems, we are constantly faced with the circularity of life – birth, growth, death, and decay – that allows life to come into existence, serve its purpose, and eventually give all that it has in order for new life to do the same. Just as grass, humans, livestock, and all living things round this circle, so too do our ideas, our beliefs, and our actions. Just as old oxidized forage must be grazed or trampled down to allow for regrowth, old ways of being must sometimes be let go to
allow for our continued growth.
Entering in 2021, we’re making a concerted effort to give energy to those new ideas and beliefs that will best serve our context, while acknowledging those that served a purpose long ago but whose time has now come. There is lots to celebrate as this new year kicks off, and there is lots to unlearn. We look forward to all the continued growth that 2021 has to offer, both for everyone in our Savory Global Network and for you, our dedicated readers.
