Operating and maintaining a fully functioning homestead requires many hours of attention and a lot of hard work.
But my invitation to you is to not forget your creative drive.
Don't let the mucking and weeding stand in the way of making things that bring beauty and balance to your place.
I am really driven to create things that honor the natural world around me. Not only in the materials I use, but in the symbolism that has driven art and design of indigenous cultures for thousands and thousands of years.
There is room for you to create your own new-native language that speaks to who you are and what you hold dear.
So go create and make it beautiful.
Picture posted is "The Morning", made of all reclaimed scrap.
It faces directly east and welcomes the actual sun the rises over the mountain in the morning.
Don't judge the unfinished house, it's exactly why I moved here, to finish it and I can't wait to show you all the exciting and creative ways this homestead is coming alive.
