about

Permaculture principle 1: Observe and Interact - Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The beginning of the design process.

lyrics

Everything you need
Is right in front of you
When you learn to see
Good things come to you

All you have to do is stop
And take a look around

Before you intervene
Don’t do anything
Come to all your senses
They’ll tell you everything

First you have to learn to stop
And take a look around

Take a look around
Listen to the sound
Why not take a whiff?
You’ll see much better if
You use more than just your eyes

Take a step outside
If you wanna know
What your soil is like
And what is gonna grow

All you have to do is stop
And take a look around

Take a look around
Get your hands into the ground
Don’t be scared of the dirt
It isn’t gonna hurt
And if you’re braver, try the flavour

Take a handful of that land
And go on, squeeze it in your hand
Then check out the display
If it stays together, it’s clay
But if it falls apart, it’s sand

Woah yeah, take a look, take a look, take a look
Read the landscape like a book
Interact, low impact, get your feedback

When you take a look around
Abundance will abound
The problem is the solution
Just depends on your perception
Try to change yourself before the world

Yeah, take a look around
On the inside and the out
Cos when you observe yourself
You see everything else
Make good use of it now
