At my last course meeting our tutor Sarah asked us to go home and think of one of the principles of permaculture and then using our creativity to bring in something that represented it. We could make it, bake it, write it, draw it or say it. I decided to have a little arty session one morning, so after brewing up some nice fresh coffee sat down and had a bit of a doodle, printed some pictures off and did some colouring in. I then wrapped it up with a few little ditties, perhaps dangling on the edge of cheese, however I found it quite rewarding to just sit down and connect with some creative flows. I chose the principle of Diversity. Diversity is found in nature and of course in human beings. In nature diversity naturally occurs, creating a super rich ecosystem that is amazingly productive. With humans we already know the wonderful things we have achieved in society through our diverse nature, but equally our diversity also represents negative connotations. Many within the circle of permaculture and outside it will argue that we are not as diverse as we could be, and that we can improve our approach to the efficient use of the world resources. What I have represented in my creation is how diversity can eventually lead to an abundance of life, ideas, thoughts and produce. I also have tackled the idea that diversity of opinions and religion should be celebrated, and that we should focus on this rather than the adversity of conflict and disrespect. That's why I've coloured in the Jew, Christian and Muslim to show that they each have vibrancy and can stand aside another despite fundamental differences. "We're creative, diverse and vibrant it's wonderful to see, ideas sprouting all across the land to progress society'
