Hi all.
I’m Micha. I write The Perennial Workshop, a newsletter from a small homestead in rural Belgium.
My quest is to navigate the ecotone: that fertile borderland of old knowledge and new technology, and my passion for bees, gardens and Systems Thinking.

We tend to think boundaries exist in nature, but nature doesn't have lines; it has gradients.
In the garden, you can't isolate the soil from the plant without the sun (a third system) or the rain (a fourth system) interfering. The "edge" is an artificial choice we make to simplify complexity.

February in the apiary. But it's getting warmer. Spotted the first few bees leaving the hive.
It reminded me that keeping bees means understanding the value of seasonal living.
Not the flat, linear time of the status quo. But a life guided by the cyclical: growth, blooming, harvest, rest.
