We begin the Advent season with an excerpt of a reflection from Rev. John Rausch, a Glenmary priest who was recognized by Pax Christi with a Teacher of Peace award this year. An instrumental version of Bernardette Farrells song Bread of Life follows (via jazzairwaves).
Advent allows a step back from our preoccupation with economic worries and the cares of the world. It raises our eyes to see the new liturgical year as the hopeful dawn of salvation that will ultimately reach completion with our participation. Fear about the “end of the world” gets replaced by excitement about the fullness of God’s Reign. Your “ransom,” “liberation,” and “redemption” are at hand! -Rev. John Rausch
Here are a few pics of how the 70 liter Aquaponic system looked a few months after it was setup. I had to also build a cage around it to keep it from being destroyed by monkeys. Yes we have some monkey trouble here once in a while.
Im pleased to report that I have just completed construction of my first custom aquaponic system for a client based in Little Compton, RI. See more pictures and find out the details by visiting the new Custom Client System page!
First custom built aquaponic system: 4 x 2 x 1 grow bed with 3 x 2 x 1.5 fish tank using an autosiphon
