IcerocketI hope to create the beginning of a dialog that never ends. One of sustainability, balance, tips, trips, and tricks that can inspire everyone on the path to an Earth centered existence. Eco-camps/Villages, Villagers, anyone with the will and intention to leave this planet better than we found it. I would love to meet as many people as possible and learn as many things as possible about permaculture, green building, solar, wind, water catchment, composting, etc.
I am beginning a journey, to the life thats balanced by the breeze. To the consultation of the trees, the light cycle of the days, and the night. The energy of morning when everything comes alive, is the moment I wish to live the rest of my life.
Our lives tend to dive or thrive depending on who we know. I'd like to know you.
Please post your links/pics/video/comments of inspiration.
Peace

There is a river of energy that is sweeping us along. It is very exciting with a hint of nervousness. The nerves just haven't been stimulate in a long time. Its like the force that is pushing us along is so powerful that we must not ignore it and the journey is one that we know is right and true.
I just returned from a two week whirlwind vacation; 5 days at Gaia Grove Eco-Camp outside of Gainesville, FL, 2 days at Petit Jean Mountain State Park, AR, a day in Fayetteville, AR, visit with my father and a surprise birthday for my 74 year old grandfather in Little Rock, AR, visit with cousins and my beloved Grandmother in Hot Springs, AR, to Big Sandy, TX to visit my younger brother, sister, and mother, and then back "home" to Port St. Joe, FL.
I had been joking with my love that it would be great if my employer would lay me off so I could have an extended vacation and spur our journey to the next level. Believe it or not, I went in to check my schedule yesterday and found that I no longer have a job here. wow. Projection anyone?
So now the feeling is back. Shocked back from the moments of preparation for another year here to the exciting/nervous feeling of the powerful river. I love it. This is EXACTLY where I am meant to be at this moment.
There are too many synchronicities for me to relay in this short note. This past year has been amazing. Its as if I have been preparing for all of these things to occur so that when they do, I can see them and am ready to ride the flow.
I've been reading into wild edible hear in the south east, north FL region and I've found a few things; cactus fruit, saw palm heart and berries, and I found a bearded tooth mushroom that was delicious. I'll try to add a picture of it.
I want to make my own pair of moccasins. I've found DIY instructions on the internet, but I must wait until I can afford the skins.
I must seek out a teacher. One who is true to the Earth and isn't afflicted by the "requirements" of society. I wish to follow in the footsteps of a first american teacher as I gain the insight and knowledge that will assist me and mine to a prosperous life without the influences of the modern economy/society/religion/politic.
I would love to follow the seasons across the country and manifest lasting friendships with conscious like minded people while learning the secrets of each region. This path is only beginning.
Thank you for being
Any story/instruction/comment will help.
Which region are you in?
What edibles if any are available in this season or the next?
What is your heritage and how do you apply it to todays world?
I can't seem to find out how to add a picture to this post. I'll post a separate one.
Have an inspired day!
Back...

Back to the land, communing with the Godliness of the wild. No T.V., no distractions, no serving tables for the man, just chilling out. Great idea, I just knew wonderful times were in your future, best regards.
Namaste, my brother and sister, walking on the wild side.
Inspiring connections
— Nov 27, 2009
I can relate well to the sense of a powerful force pushing or calling us (large sense of plural) along. And I suspect that the manifestation is and will be different for each of us. My own way included living in a tipi for two years, and it was the finest education I've ever experienced. There's something indescribably vitalizing about living with the real-time reality of living energies!
Are you dwelling in and traveling with the tipi? If so, I do have some good tips to share from my own experience. The most comprehensive is the modern day bible of tipi life: "The Indian Tipi, It's History, Construction, and Use" by Reginald and Gladys Laubin.
If you're ever in South-central Indiana, Bloomington is the now over-developed epicenter of a large area that used to be shared hunting grounds by many tribes. I was born and raised in the woodlands here, though I now live in a house with my family, trying to balance the current of change with those elements of modern life that much of my family and friends still practice (a tricky, patient process!). Locating and developing connections with others that are already waking and re-wilding is a very high priority for me. So let's keep this channel open!
Namaste, you two

P.S. re: talking shop about adding pictures to posts:
1. Host your picture on a photo-sharing site.
2. Grab the absolute address/URL of the picture you want to use from the photo site.
(Sites like flikr give you choices for different picture sizes and offer the URL to copy. The URLs of random photos from the web can be found by right-clicking on the picture and selecting 'Copy Image Location' in your Firefox browser. In IE it's too dang hard to describe because of all the 'conditions'.)
3. Place the HTML code for calling a picture into your post:
<_img src="Picture's-URL"_> (take out the underscores _ )
ta-da!!

River my friend (giggles of delight)

How appropriate a name for a friend.
We spent our time in an A frame during the rain and in our tent the rest. The tipi was set up a little too close the road for our liking this time. I would still love to learn from the experiences you have had.
Thank you for the picture assistance. I'll work on uploading the photos.
Ta da!! Wow thats massive!
hmm, wha? A? yay!

The beginning
— Nov 28, 2009
Very interesting my friend. The A frame will be our base or beginning in this inspired journey. I'm finding many parallels in the timing of all this. It is all culminating to start our beginning at the end of this year and the beginning of the next. As if all the other synchronicities are somehow not bright enough. lol. I love it. Thank you.
Love.
I agree!

Awesome, I've been a little busy, doing what I do opening the path (which requires time, as I am only looking for the hope to pass forward) and haven't had as much time to read the blogs (well for the last 8 days, as many children here now).... then I read from you how we are on parallel paths and had to step over here to say I agree!
wow, what a journey... and the deal with getting laid off at your own request... wow...
and going to Little Rock and Hot Springs..... mmmmmmmmmmm, the beauty..
hugs,

here we are inside the dance of our creation.
