Tamera, I often think of you and your woodsy cabin desires, sending my good thoughts and energy out to support the creation of your dream. Your Tumblr photos have been very inspirational to me. I am still in grateful awe that I actually *am* living in a cottage in the forest finally. It is as wonderful as I always imagined.

i return to open earth of Dartmoor, granite tors sky line. wooded valley, a summer murmor, winters rage, water cascade through & over boulders. weaving the path through mire, the scracth of gorse, bees in the heather, apples in valley orchards.

Annie: It was so nice, I didn’t want to come back to Oakland. And I miss my family terribly, just seeing them a few times a year is not really doing it for me. I want to move back for awhile, but need to figure out where I’d live and how it would work. Where did you live before? What made you decide to go back? I moved back in 2006 but didn’t even last a year!

That poem, it’s perfect…I’m a Vermont baby too, living here again after a city stint. I know exactly how you feel. I don’t think I’ll stay, but it’s nice for now to be in the woods and have actual fall and jack frost windshield scrape mornings. We had some pretty pretty pretty days while you were in the state!

The cabin pic and description made me smile ~ Community building and potlucking with laughter have been a big focus of mine since moving from the big city of Vancouver (well big by our Canadian standards) to a smaller community on Vancouver Island. I believe that like life self-esteem, or a romantic relationship, community spirit and belonging need to be fostered. It seems that in an an electronic age people are more ego centric than ever and isolation is rampant. I try to use it as only a tool, but I giggle at this idea as I type away only an arm’s length from my love who does the same thing though we sit essentially in the silence of key strikes. I started a Potlucking group on Facebook and for the last year we have had a great many gatherings that have made me feel good about the world, and full in my tummy!
