Description
This is a fantastic tale of how humans and nature can work together to manage the Earth. In this case, it is about water. The story takes place around a small area with a dry wadi, which can turn into a raging torrent during torrential rains. That is the outer side of the story. What matters to the collaborating people in this fiction is that nature itself gets a say. Globally, this already happens here and there, but nature’s interests are represented there by humans. It is called a «Parliament of Things». Therein lies the crux: if you really talk to nature you are not communicating with things but with a multicoloured population of consciousnesses. Nature beings are called those. That’s what nature peoples and, in our case, those who study anthroposophy know all about. Then the story sweeps to a remote eco-village in the north-east of the Netherlands. They liberate not only themselves from the oppression of a failing government, they help their neighbours as well. The third novella describes the visits of our heroes and the clever girls Ilonka and Stefanie to farmers who are inventing their own ways in the transition to sustainable agriculture.
