So I got a new job. Yesterday was my first day. What was it?

Delivering vegetables! Ta-da!

but that's not very exciting. Actually, I anticipate it becoming rather boring. But these are organic vegetables and fruits (and coffee and yogourt and stuff), and although that in itself doesn't make it much more exciting, this does: the guy I'm working for is a permaculturist! He's planning on turning his own land into a permaculture education farm, and hopes to find a place for me as an apprentice permaculturist.

It's a bit scary, I'll admit, and right now I feel like running away, because it feels like responsibility and commitment, and for some reason I'm scared of that. My head is finding all sorts of reasons I shouldn't do this job.

But ultimately I think it'll take me in the direction I should be going, and really, how many people can say they have a paying job in the permaculture field?
