Well, I’ve been building a fort in the woods for several years, the echo of some very radical and romantic ideals that I’m too stubborn to turn away from. I lived in a tent and wild foraged and raised
rabbits for awhile, learned solar/electrical as a trade and have slowly tried to build alternate equity into: my community and friends, the land/organism that anchors and supports me, fertility, etc. I can’t seem to find any money no matter how much I try, so I’ve found a great security in the humble
shelter I’ve built and a soggy
land that continues to shovel a bounty of sweet potatoes into my hoard. The climate shifts, but my kale is ripe and perky under the slush. It’s been very important for me to abandon the notion of property, of institutions and rabbit-holes of capitalism and all it’s warped manifestations. I am an anarchist, and I am a child.
I’m also likely to hit the road soon with my dog and my truck and see the wild places that sing the soul’s song. Maybe we can be friends...
