I'm still here

Wow - it has been awhile. I just got net access - we shall see if we can post with some frequency. Life has been hard - bet it's gonna get harder. If there is anyone out there working on building intentional community - i'd like to know. It seems like a fiber based economy - flax and hemp - might be the only solution to maintain local rural economy. Grow your own food and clothing. It also may be necessary to grow your own housing unit. I have been working with several folks - will try to put some more ideas out.

Also - started reading the anastasia books - the ringing cedars series. Seems fantastic, but it addresses the same issues as i have been looking at. The economy has not treated me well and so i feel like i am at the cutting edge of the system collapse. Looking for work, but not sure that i have the proper skill set. Better get back to life - if you are not paying attention, somebody is taking advantage of you. The system will eat everyone eventually - so try to stay well.
