Sowing, cultivating and harvesting are happening all the time; each time that we harvest, new understanding nourishes the organisation; harvesting knowledge is not linear, we do not educate ourselves alone, nor as one person to another, we educate ourselves together, harvesting and sowing, harvesting and sowing, and much will die, atmospheres of learning in which we see each other as equals ; the dialectic between the individual and the collective, is sometimes disruptive. Its there that time enters: there, pausing, we can re-signify important movements that could have continuity in other places, and in other times; Sometimes I am the pest, we with our “run, run”, sometimes I've had to set fire and take the harvest from the ashes, slash and burn, I've had to do that to myself, you have to know when to withdraw and let things grow. Life on the edge of the abyss, in constant contradiction, being outside and being inside, navigating in different conditions, including pandemics, sharing from organisation to organisation, work is never finished, it is always in movement, there are no recipes, only principles, bringing harvest through cooking, food excites us and connects us, a classroom-kitchen-laboratory, through eating we advance agroecology, humility, listening, knowing that we all have something to contribute, looking at ourselves as a “milpa”, with our different parts that can grow separately but better together, we set ourselves to cook, to eat, to work on a play or write a poem. In the academy… What is it that’s of value? is it really going to achieve what we want?, the organisation starts with the broom, meeting, work, party, the encounters arising from cooking or art or party, a nakedness to face conflicts, celebration, mischief and something to share, to see each other with different eyes, to be prepared to challenge and to be challenged, to irritate, to make ourselves uncomfortable and move.
