Dinner Party Guests

Dinner Party Guests

Do you have dinner party guests like these?

At my house, they get to partake in many of our meals!

Strange looking friends, I know! 

This all came about as part of my ongoing efforts to balance my exchange with the planet while simultaneously becoming more Symbiotic with my local environment. My desire to act with reverence for all life and becoming more aware of my contributions to the whole, lead me discover these new slimy friends. So, I invited these new dinner guests into my home.  

Considering I have a home in the city, a large composting site is not that do-able. And, while there are many options and varieties for small-scale versions, for me, vermicomposting really resonated. Here is why…

My worm friends helped me “make real” something I already knew in concept. I understood that all things are interconnected; that there is an inherent patterning to all of life and nature always seeks to balance itself.   So when I stepped back to view my role in “natures cycle” I could felt it could improve. I knew I could do better at physically balancing my own little home eco-system and decided to take action in that direction.

This is the basic core functioning of our beautiful biosymbiotic system:

The worms have a nice low maintenance home inside my basement where I feed them my food scraps and some paper products. This gives them a great meal and reduces my trash to nearly just recyclables.

    

The worms eat my garbage thereby producing nutrient dense compost.

The compost is then used in the garden to grow more delicious food.

And back around the cycle we go!

This is just one small example of BioSymbiotic Living & Being. Which simply stated, is an organically balanced, mutually beneficial, dynamic relationship between all natural things. And, as Living humans Being on planet earth it is a choice to act with conscious awareness.

Please share some of your favorite examples….

Are you (and your dinner party friends) bringing Love to the table?
