Open Love Letter to Jay C. White Cloud

As I plan the next stages of my permaculture building project I am overcome with a feeling of appreciation for this community, and Jay White Cloud in particular. I have learned from so many incredible books, videos, and classes. I am grateful to many in the community. But, time and time again, when I need to understand historical foundation and structural building I find myself here reading the words of Jay White Cloud. Jay - I have never met you, or even spoken to you. But, your permies threads have been a huge inspiration in my life. More often than not, when I need an answer you have been the best source. I want to thank you for being a wise teacher and spending untold hours answering specific detailed structural design questions with experienced stories, beautiful images, and an open heart. Your research, experience, and life lessons have opened up the world of traditional architecture for me and likely many, many more. Whenever I read your words you provide surprising insight, and I desperately want to read your books. Thank you for your gift of knowledge and please consider writing for Chelsea Green.
I also want to thank Paul Wheaton for enabling this incredible internet forum which facilitates access to this essential archive.
If you too feel love and appreciation please add to this thread.
Thanks to all, and good luck building!

I still have Jay C. White Cloud wisdom rattling around in my mind from years ago.  I still listen for frogs in my backyard right now as an indicator of land health.  He has such a pleasant and constructive way.
