Words for Generations Past, Present, and Future

Written originally as a letter, these words seemed like more than those to be read once before dust covers them forever.

I am in a really interesting time in my life. Some may think or say I am wasting time away as I am not career driven but I know deep down, I am doing the right thing.
-I am taking the time to walk barefoot.
-I am learning from animals: wild and domesticated, human and non human 
-I am communicating with an array of people
-I am allowing the wind to take me where it knows I can serve, teaching me to care and share with all
-I am eating food that is canned from the clearence section as well as foraged and holistically wholesome meals directly from the land - washing the soil & bugs away with water
-I am planting seeds, most times moving on before the sprout, other times sharing the harvest 
-I am adapting to love, no matter what my environment

Kindezi beginning

I write this as a free spirit at heart, a young me with a Monday through Friday 9-5, and a commitment to community...

I woke up before the sun and the shadows guided me in my unfamiliar commute to my new routine As soon as I had my back to the outside and very few windows in sight a different world became my reality, until the end of the day when I retraced the same route in the other side of the road, this time with strangers, sweat, and litter accompanying me.

Kid Zee

poetry from a man called Ticket

cold bones, warm heart, 

Speaking of a pace to rest his clay.

Wanting to share and care,

in order to receive. 

Kee is how I introduced myself.

A stranger for now,

a friend to become --

if that is how the cards are delt. 

Snig bits from an email I sent to a dear friend...
...I miss the familiar systems we had and how much truth and love they contained, whether laughing together or slowly making it through another hard day. 

...I want to be aware of staying strong in my passion and truth even while learning to swim in these new waters. 

Faery dust

Well a year has past and as with many things some dust has gathered in some areas while others are sparkling with excitement and growth.

Many words could fall into place here, but, as I have so often done lately, I am not going to mark them down but allow them to dance in my head as I do whatever I do. I am about to flop in the mezinine and watch Chocolat (even though it is half 11 on  Sunday night). I may sleep in there the whole night or I may walk up to the caravan in the woods and join Jo. Tomorrow is Monday but I have off so I have different sort of options. Callum has off as well, we may go on an adventure together. I would like that, but also I am not stuck on that. While I am the type of person that does like to have a little bit of a plan, right now, I am ok with going to be not knowing what my tomorrow may contain - which is a very relistic way of letting life fall into place as it were.
Time for Chocolat and what ever comes next.
In short - what I have to say is life is good.

Embercombe moments late Feb - late March.

A glimpse of a beautiful moment

an envilope with words of love that brought streams of tears and joy into my world, tucked in my welly boot

appreciating the envilope and its contents. What a special thing

the beginning of a lovely relazing day of reading, not tracking time, fasting, and really doing what I felt drawn to do in life with my current resources and options. A day for the books. 

Oh Embercombe. :) 

Louisa and \Adam talking while Robby, Daniel (RI Dan), Tammy, Rachel, and (site apprentice) Jim said good bye, good night, and thank you to the sun as it set. 

small and important
