National Invasive Species Awareness Week
The University of Georgia announced this “Awareness Week” on my Facebook page today and I smiled, remembering the Odum School of Ecology invasive species potluck dinner during which I found out that kudzu can be quite tasty. As I took a lunchtime foray outdoors to tackle my own backyard invasive species (ivy), it occurred to me that once-thought-to-be-useful thoughts/movements/behaviors that we have outgrown could be called our own invasive species. And the process we call the Alexander Technique constructively weeds and cultivates, weeds and cultivates as we recover and discover our nature.
