There are no ordinary people. You have never
talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilisations these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat.
But it is immortals whom we joke with,
work with, marry, snub, and exploit immortal horrors
or everlasting splendours.

Nietzsche’s quote suggests that to become a true hero, one must face significant challenges.
The transformation of the “serpent” into a “dragon” symbolizes the need for worthy obstacles that drive personal growth and strength.
Without such challenges, a hero cannot fully realize their potential.

How to Grow Food Year-Round:
A walipini is an underground or partially buried greenhouse that uses the earth’s thermal mass to keep temperatures stable year-round. With a plastic or glass roof, it harnesses passive solar energy, reducing the need for heating and cooling, making it efficient even in winter climates as cold as -20°C (-4°F).
Key benefits include energy savings, water management (with proper drainage and rainwater collection), and low-cost construction using local materials. Built facing the equator for maximum sunlight, a well-insulated walipini maintains internal temperatures of 10°C to 15°C (50°F to 59°F), perfect for year-round growing.
