Day 20
2023.06.24 saturday, evening entry

Grateful for one acre to play on..
The more I think about “Thicccens”
The more I fall in love
The canvas of earth
Calls for me
To do
A thing

I’d like to create a sort of jungle gym area..
For humans
And of course
Chickens.. silkies? Yes please
When that day arrives
Commence the joy

Infrastructure
Fitness and wellness gymnasium
Hanging ropes
Balance beams

Enough envisioning for now.. it’s almost pumpkin time ~!
Pics ~!!!

2023.06.26 Monday, morning entry

Grateful for new boots! In order I met them: drew, Liam, jj, Logan.. there might have been a fifth possibly..

I bring her gifts..
Like a stick
I think about her
When we’re apart
“I wonder how she’s doing..”
We’ll keep each other company
And tell stories
“Haha, remember that time..!?”

We have fun
We work together
We practice listening
And observing
With utmost respect
And maintaining
Line of sight
Keeping in mind to
Speak in response
And turn
React slowly
Like sloth motion slowly
To the point where it’s
comically slow

Because abundance
And freedoms
Being here now
With Thicccens
A dream come true
What else can be manifested? Hmmmmmmm…….

Yesterday we marked out a small path possibly for a vehicle to drive into the shady part out of the road but ultimately I might just build a spot near the road on the perimeter instead of the middle area.. thinking out loud..

Day 24
2023.06.28 wednesday, morning entry

Grateful for positive association.. sometimes just being around people who aware/recognize/ choose a higher vibration.. Just thinking about that I breathe so much lighter.. I have a choice to be happy and at peace.. I have a choice to mind my company.. I have a choice to forgive myself and others.. as long as I have been given the gift of awareness for a given situation..

I’m remembering a challenging time when a person kept showing up in my life in an inconsistent way towards me.. and it really disrupted my peace.. and I thought, okay I’d like to keep 100 yard radius at all times for the sake of my peace.. but that path is a bit of a work around.. what’s the higher road? I found myself wondering.. now I know.. the higher road is to maintain a distance so I keep my peace.. just to recognize a disruptive vibration quick enough to walk away is my challenge.. because I want to see people’s for their best qualities, and yet stay true to me first and foremost.. my gathering is that the disruption feeling comes from a misalignment in values and action.. ie I value relationship that is reciprocal, communicative, supportive, enlightening, approachable/forgiving.. so if the other party consistently obscure these values, I mind three times and then walk further from their path, and thus closer to my truth.. will I end up alone implementing this formula? Not sure.. I haven’t yet..! Bon journey..

Enjoy the pics~!!! :)

We used one bolt from norm’s hardware donation, for the red cabin log-anchor.. and saved a trip into town.. how community building is that?  It keeps us connected to our long term mission of permaculturey approaches, as well as allowing norm to be a part of this new sunshade project..!!
