‘In Tune’ – Length 2:15
Jay is your upper class Woolloomooloo lady. She tends the community garden right next to where most of the homeless sleep. Both sides of the fence get on with their day without a problem in the world.
‘The single greatest lesson the garden teaches is that our relationship to the planet need not be zero-sum, and that as long as the sun still shines and people still can plan and plant, think and do, we can, if we bother to try, find ways to provide for ourselves without diminishing the world’
– Michael Pollan – The Omnivore’s Dilemma
