Right now, I wake up in the middle of the
night of 18-19 September (it’s 1:46 AM as I look at the bottom of my extension
monitor) with this urge to write all this, with the inspiration of the number “13,”
those practices belonging to “Organic Regenerative Agriculture” in my list:
1, Organic Cover Cropping
2, Organic Crop Rotation
3, Organic Farm Crops + Tree Crops (Agroforestry)
4, Organic Green Manuring
5, Organic Intercropping
6, Organic Multiple Cropping
7, Organic No-Till Farming
8, Organic Fertilization
9, Organic Ratooning
10, Organic Rotational Grazing
11, Organic “Three Sisters” Planting
12, Organic Trap Cropping
13, Organic Trash Mulching.
13 Organics! Afraid of 13? Here is
enlightening text from the source of the above 5 images of 13 – “Mysticism
Meets Mathematics: What Does The Number 13 Mean Spiritually?” (Planet Numerology, planetnumerology.com):
The
number 13 holds a potent vibration in spiritual circles, often shrouded in
mystery and intrigue. Across various cultures and religions, this digit has
been linked to transformation, rebirth, and divine feminine energy. While many
fear its association with bad luck, others see it as a symbol of change and
growth. Spiritually, understanding the essence of 13 can provide a deeper
insight into the universe’s mystic rhythms.
The 13 in my list
of ORA above came naturally; I did not plan it – but now, as the above source
says, I see that ORA is “a symbol of change and growth.” If you look at the
list of 13 ORA, they are not “mystic” – they are natural things. Mother Nature
things.
And I, an Ilocano, I am sure another
Ilocano as Secretary of Agriculture would approve it: William Dar. He knew poverty when he was little – thus, his
parents could not afford to send him to college – fortunately, his uncle did,
willingly. Similarly, we need willing minds and hands to get the Philippines
from rice importer to rice exporter to all the countries of the SEA – Southeast
Asia!
And how do we begin
all that? With President Ferdinand “BBM”
Marcos Jr returning William Dar
Secretary of Agriculture! I know Mr Dar believes in the wisdom of Regenerative Agriculture, and he is an Ilocano who has
known poverty when he was young. We need his “New Thinking for Agriculture” to
solve the poverty of millions of Filipino farmers! And PH to sell organic rice
to Southeast Asia!
I repeat: The Regenerative
Agriculture “13” is good for
transformation and rebirth. Instead of bad luck, “13” is a symbol of change and
growth. It reflects Mother Nature’s rhythms. The call is for organic
regenerative agriculture (ORA) – let’s go ORA ahora!@517
