Update On The Farm Front
I would like to start this week's newsletter by thanking everyone who has given me the grace to explore my writing and share with you much more of my inner world. I feel extremely lucky to be a part of a community that has supported our family through the ups and downs of farming, but also in other aspects such as my amateur writing. I think it is now time to move my inner journey to a separate platform, so those of you who enjoy my searching can still access my writing and those who prefer to be kept up to date on all things farming, food and health can get their fix from the weekly newsletter we send out with your fruit and veggies. I have now started a Substack Publication https://substack.
Now, I think it's about time I give you an update on the farming front. The farm has finally been listed for sale after a long wet period slowed our progress in getting it ready. Years of pure focus on vegetable growing, turned the rest of the farm into a jungle with all the rainfall we've experienced over these years.
PART 2: Why Do Great Things Get Accomplished—And What Drives The People Who Accomplish Them?
There are days when I love knowing that I am the author of my own life—when I can conjure any meaning I choose. In those moments, I feel like a miniature god, free to create, to explore, to play not only in the physical world but in the boundless landscapes of my imagination. But then there are the other days—the ones when imagination turns against me, when it becomes overwhelmed by fear. And knowing that the fear is irrational doesn’t help in the slightest. It sinks, it spreads, and if left unchecked, it drags me toward despair. The only thing that saves me in those moments is when I turn my gaze toward what I can only call the Lighthouse of Love. I see my wife, Emily, and our three children. The closer I drift toward the darkness—when those treacherous thoughts begin to pull me under—they become the light that cuts through the storm.
PART 1: Why Do Great Things Get Accomplished—And What Drives The People Who Accomplish Them?
I can think of no man or woman who has achieved something truly extraordinary without, somewhere deep inside, wanting to be seen as extraordinary themselves. After all, what greater satisfaction could there be than to have lived a life worthy of retelling—a story that others read in books, watch on morning television, or see immortalised in film? To be remembered. To be admired. To feel that one’s name echoes long after the noise of ordinary life has faded. But beneath that noble dream lies something universal. From the moment we’re children, sat before glowing screens or tucked in with bedtime stories, we are fed the same ideal: be the hero. Be the knight in shining armor. Be the one who slays the dragon. What does that mean—and why are we so enchanted by it? Why do we pass this dream to our children as if it were sacred truth?
