I finished reading Michael Hynes, “The Myth-Guided Mind: Unleash our God-given Genius at Work and at Home“. The book was written with Linda Hulme Leahy, who has a heritage apple farm in Round Hill. That likely explains why I was able to obtain a copy at Endless Shores Books in Bridgetown.
I found this to be a remarkable book. From the beginning, the title could be a word play on the mis-guided mind. I particularly enjoyed the references to the work of Joseph Campbell. It is a short book (123 pages) with chapters titled:
e.g.
Mental Health, Not Mental Wealth;
Somatics and Embodiment – A Primer;
The Myth will Choose You;
Becoming an Expert in Being You.
I plan to read it a second time, very shortly.
There is planned clearcutting again on South Mountain. Heather and I drove along the Trout Lake Road (from Highway #10) and then walked along the woods road towards Inglisville. To date, there has not been any new cutting, however, along with Extinction Rebellion, we shall monitor the situation.
I did receive a report from Jeff Wentzell on the MIT Agri Tech seminar this week. Presentations included drone technology, greenhouse AI tech and aquaponics.
My vision is somewhat different. How can we use Geomatics technology to better understand the changes in agricultural land use in the Annapolis Valley? Better information, leading to better decision making.

Thanks so much for the heads up about The Myth-Guided Mind. It was a downright liminal experience working with Mike Hynes on that project. We are planning on at least one more book and possibly a podcast in the future. Cheers, Linda
