Hi Orion,
Your legendary descriptions contained all of the the whimsy and heart melting wonder of my favorite earthly reflections... (art, waterfall picnics, epic tree houses, adventures, nature, bikes, ecstatic dance, etc)... I came to this site in the chaos of the pandemic, at a unique place for myself (after I sold my last faerietale-forest-farm to facilitate eventually leveling back up to an acerage in a new like-minded community). I was amazed to find you, at page four of permies, when I was just about to log out... such a kindred spirit! Many permies are amazing and talented at thriving in nature, but only some are also creative... as a fellow creative I am hope that you may understand that, in life, our closest connections are usually with other creatives
I would love to be friends... as for the potential of more I will tell you about myself:.... I'm the introvert mistaken for an extrovert with my child-like thirst for fun, my unique clothing, and my desire for big talk rather than small talk. Artistic passions include: painting, illustration, animation, jewellery, industrial sewing, story telling, song/ percussion, dance, etc. I adore nature, especially water, trees, and berries. As a teen I grew up on a farm. I am decent at both growing food and living in the forest (12 years at my last property); I can mickey-mouse/ macgyver things like building structures, though I admitedly do not have all of the permie skills completely nailed (yet). In friendship, or more, I'm not a fan of traditional gender roles, (like: women do all the cooking and canning and never get to do "man-stuff", insert middle finger here, lol). I revel in sharing a variety of tasks, and would delight at the idea of making them playful too.Pages 1-3 I had clicked on older men, I even passed by your first post, but the word "tribe" really caught my eye in the second. I'm 15 years older than you and I already have a six, almost 7 year old beautiful nature loving daughter. It would be hard to leave the area (west coat of BC Canada) as my daughter needs to see her dad ...though not impossible... I do have a friend that commutes regularly to/ from Seattle here... I am in an awesome creative community here in Canada... we have ecstatic dance here too and other rad events...local food, wellness, permaculture, etc are big here, and nature is also spectacular... Here are some pictures of me regardless:
