Sustainability

I see this word a lot of late. I think of it myself on many occasions. It's right up there with utopia and living the dream. Wouldn't it be nice to have a life that is sustainable with no pressure to grow. 

When I stop to think about it, this is a pipe dream. How can we not grow, not move forward or try new things. Being sustainable is like stopping time in many ways, but in the end you always come up just a bit short. Like growing a garden. There is always something you need to get or source to get it done. No matter how hard you try to keep from using outside suppliers something always comes up. 

It's like the dreamers that think Atlantis was a paradise. Well it was, but only in their dreams, time keeps moving on and so do we. Sustainability, thats the start line, what comes is anyones guess.
