Nostalgia?            written on 19 November 2011

The hot blood of life’s blindfolds running through my veins

Corrupted visions of fate entwined with hopeless fear

As I shake within

cradling my quivering soul beneath me

encompassed by an energy I make little sense of

reaching deep down within toward the blindfolds we wear…

And trembling to and fro beneath this veil

one more quaking thrust forward in and out of this world

as tears come I quiver along with you

and enfold a paintbrush in my arms….

 

The cold blood of life’s blindfolds corrupting the flow in my veins

Visions of consequence entwined with hopeless faith

As so many bid me farewell and God bless

At a distance I sit and wonder what it is I am thanked for

Who and what my work has touched

To see deep down within toward the blindfolds few discard…

A dance of the harshest reproof

As confusion creates a void inside me

As we disregard each other

It is clearer to me how much tighter I must grasp my paintbrush

One of the products sold by Positive Re-cycle is the Bokashi system.  Bokashi is a Japanese word meaning “fermented organic matter”.  A Japanese Professor, Teruo Higa, developed a bran made up of 5 groups of effective micro organisms that have the ability to ferment food waste in an anaerobic (no oxygen) environment.

The advantages of fermenting or Bokashi – ing your food waste are a multitude of natural, organic wonders that can only enhance your ecosystem around your home.    Like a previous employer of mine, Jacques Damhuis, says “Healthy soil equals Healthy Food”.

Firstly, it can no longer rot or become rotting pulp – which is what attracts the bad bacteria, the ones we dont like e.g flies, rats (reported in some cases by one or two of my clients at work).

Secondly, it breaks down rapidly when layered in your compost or buried under the soil, making nutritious food for your plants.

Thirdly, there will be a run off liquid if you allow the process to flow.  This run off liquid is used clean as a drain cleaner, and diluted as a plant fertilizer.  NOTE there is a two week period to keep your bucket closed, you will need 2 x buckets, as when one is full and fermenting the other is being filled ;-)
