it seems to have been more than a year since i have last written.  i shall now ramble a bit on the 12.89 month anniversary since my previous posting.
yesterday, eric and i went to our friend Sean's wedding with our new friend, Annie.  it was such a meaningful event for so many people.  it really was an honor to be there, at their farm, their home, and see the beautiful life and world they are co-creating there.  making it as organic farmers in modern America!  willing to work hard to keep at it despite questioning frequently why they are doing it.  there is a very good feeling of joy that exists there.
how i love to be nomadic!  eric and i were talking recently about the silliness of so much structure in our society at times.  he showed me a cool article about how a nursing home has incorporated a preschool within its walls so that old and young alike can have fun together.  it IS an extraordinary thing to do, im not trying to say it's not.  im just thinking that if we didn't have buildings for old people and buildings for young people and just had everybody hang out like they do in many other parts of the world (and in the us too), that would just be happening, the way that it used to happen more so than it does at present =)
i don't want to be nomadic as a means of escapism from the work required to live independently while still being able to give materially to others.  i am willing to work hard.  i just want to be able to do what feels natural and good in the present =) and that often seems to keep me wandering.
if eric and i were ever to have something like a wedding, i think it would be wonderful to not focus it on the parts of the bride and groom, but instead to focus it equally on every person who was present.  so much interconnection.  there could be food potluck, gift potluck where anyone could take whatever they needed from a pile, and it could just be a celebration of everyone's life... a reunion where anyone who wants to come is welcome.
