My dear family, It is soon going to be a
year in this amazing, rich continent, life treats us generously. The farm after
having a lot of people visiting went in to a nap, now it is quiet, time for
some summary.
I
will start with describing you my day. Very often I wake up at night to have a
piss, nights are warm and cloudless, we are in the dry season, sky is full of
stars and the moon shines down the valley, i put my bear feet in the grass,
standing naked and enjoy the conection
with the planet , magic. Lefteri wakes me up every morning by crowling on my
head or pulling my hair, we go to the kitchen, wchich is 50 m from the bedroom,
very often somebody is already preparing breakfast, not know becouse for a 3 days
we are alone. I take a bag with alittle bucket and through the garden I walk
step path down, between shrubs and
bushes to meet the goats 6 min walk. We have 3 goats, I welcome them and milk a
liter of fresh nectar, then I walk them to there pasture, where they chew on
green leaves whole day. On my way back I visit Bonnie, my favourite animal to
check if donkey has enough grass, old stuborn lovely lady. Coming up i can
smell oats being roasted and coffe being prepared. During braekfast we check
quicly what have to be done .
The chakra( new opened garden) was just
recently planted with potatoes,peanuts, sweet potatoe, beans, oats, and
buckwheat, I love seeing things grow from your hands, time flyies but world is
flowering more and more around us, more love we have for it and for oureselfs
more we get from the garden, forest and animals. one day a week we work on a
new trail, hoeing, moving earth and stones, work is such a blessing here, Always
you have been told that work is a curse and labour a misfortune, but I say to
you that when you work you fullfill a part of earth's furthest dream, assigned
to you when that dream was born, And in keeping yourself with labour you are in
truth loving life.
Lefteraki is our sun shining whole day
(sometimes at night too) he runs around , repating his new words, his favourite
is wow and cool, but kurka (polish chicken) and kotek (little cat) and few
other, basicly he speaks whole day round amusing us with his bizzare language.
We had visited our neighbours 1.5 hour walk deeper in to the valley, on the
border with the jungle, podocarpus national park, universe decided to meet
there 5 familys 10 parents and 8 children from age 0.5 to 6 in one little crazy
house. lefteri and his new friends (see photo). They are our main teachers , children They come through you, but not
from you , and thoug they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may house their bodies but not their
souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorow, wchich you cannot visit,
not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make
them like you. They are the sons and doughters of Life's longing for itself.
Then we make lunch around 13, if there is
more people ther is a lunch crew forming, we cook mostly wegetrian food, there
were some chickens but we never buy meat. We are planning and some already
started on growing fish trout and tilapia. We have different variety of cheses
made from goat milk. We still carry(horses mostly do) food every weekend,
fruits and vegetables from the market, we work on getting our shopping down by
half till next year . After eating, a little siesta in a hammock, and back to
some chores, in the place like this there is always something to do, watering,
building feeding animals, cleaning, harvesting or just chiling.
In the evening we gather very often
together, sharing, playing games, singing or just reading( i am reading
3books at the same time) we have
scheduled community meetings once a week when we talk about vision and decide
on various issues. we also share and work on our social structure and
comunication skills, I advise checking Nonvailent communication, book
availible in evey language, helps solving conflicts and helps with true
personal growth.
It was a difficult moment when Ralphy
after so long being with us decided to go, I accepted his decision, and i know
we are still connected, by the way if
you read this brother, I am doing the acounting, learning spanish and flosing
teeth and I wonder when you are coming back.
Our community is still growing, I am very
happy that Leo decided to stay longer, Love you bro and wait for Chaves comming
back in January with his Tipi. Andrea is residing RADI under the 3 month
absence of Yves- we all send you love every day brother (hope it is legal in
USA).
I am also thinking when to visit Europe,
maybe spring next year, and build house, lots of plans. Anybody interested
coming by please let me know that I can plan our trip acordingly, I invite to
help us building our little cob (clay) house.
Some of the amazing words are inspired by
a book called a Prophet written in1923 by Lebanese writer Kahlil Gibran,
becouse I cannot fully express myself in English, this guy does it exelent.
I
miss my family, love you guys so much. T
