Winsolstice Fire Festival well and truly over and the Daylight welcomed back, today I decided I need to start a new piece of work. I remember my mother’s mother talking about the old form of employment, which consisted of doing a prescribed set of activities, often in the same room, in return for just enough money to pay for bed and board and support for your children. It always sounds like a modified form of slavery to me, and I’m glad that people started to strongly resist it. These days, nobody can expect you to travel outside your community to work. Your community needs you to remain with the community most of the time, as you have responsibilities and obligations to your people that come above any other form of activity. Nobody can force you to work against your will. Nobody can deprive you of food or accommodation if you do not do the work that others tell you to do. People have all the same drives and interests that they used to have - and now they can fulfil them. And this becomes valuable to their community. And this is what work is. Some people end up being agriculturalists most of the time. Some people end up making food in the community kitchens most of the time. Some people end up mostly doing the building or childcare or machine repair or community governance. That’s the way that seems right. We occasionally re-allocate main tasks by group decision-making. But it’s what the people themselves want to do that is the key. And what I want to do is join in with my home area’s plan to build a new wind park…
