Apologies for the off topic comment, but the linked article deserves to be seen by as many farming proponents as possible!

It is an absolute must - read for those who understand that:

"the MAHA message to improve food quality for all Americans"... "requires supporting our farmers." Please pass along to any and all whom you feel appropriate to contact with it...

Yes, David Erdman’s The Complete Poetry and Prose of William Blake is the best!

Well, my plan is to take two weeks for every book, and the sessions will run between 1 1/2 and 2 hours. I record every session and send a link to all participants in case any one wants to review or, more importantly, in case anyone has to miss a week. Some people prefer to not go live and just rely on the recordings. I don't necessarily "lecture" about the book, but I do run it more or less like a graduate seminar, based primarily on discussion and sharing of insights. It's very laid back and always a load of fun.

I have heard you talk before about how it is important to attuned to the rhythms of nature. Some ways to do this are obvious, but I was wondering if you knew of any book that is dedicated to this topic. Thanks.

I don't know that I can think of a book. For me it started when reading a sentence in Rudolf Steiner's 'Cosmic and Human Metamorphoses' when I was 23 or so where he says that by paying attention to the subtle changes in nature over the course of a year, one can encounter Christ. Challenge accepted! But it was just one sentence.
