'If the market emerges by transforming life into property and then into money and possessions, the market grows through a process of disenchantment, or de-sacralization.' 👌🏻
I read Sacred Economics years ago, in which many of these themes are laid out. But it does seem that such ideas bear repeating, as reminders to myself as much as anything. Best to you, Laura.
Once again, Adam, you move me to tears. I too live in Amish country, (a few hours south of you,
central PA.) I have been, for the last year, driving a lovely young (relative to this old lady!) woman and her daughter to therapy, so that no one in her community knows about it. She has wanted to pay me, and I have resisted and not had language for why until I read this. So thank you. I hope to someday make it to one of your celebrations.
The Amish are just settling in my area, and I've already made some meaningful connections. The cross-cultural exchange is uniquely valuable. I'm glad you've been invited into a meaningful relationship.

Greetings Lisa,
The Amish are just settling in my area, and I've already made some meaningful connections. The cross-cultural exchange is uniquely valuable. I'm glad you've been invited into a meaningful relationship.
What you're laying out in today's Timbered Barley House post is to be treasured. Thank you
Aw shucks, Michael. This is kind. There's a lot to treasure in this world. So much to be treasured.
