i'm a single gay man who lives in southwestern missouri, love permaculture, wild places, taking care of my body/mind/spirit , into metaphysical dialogue and simple living. i'm looking to meet another guy who is likeminded and seriously wants to live the change he wants to see in the world. i'm attracted like a "moth to a flame" to humility, sincerity, honesty, and folks who love themselves as they love others gay or straight, man or woman.

hey daniel,

i’m sorry you’re not feeling well. i did happen to notice on you postings of your health issues. i’m not “christian” but i am a spiritual man, and i pray that you begin to get your strength back and you are once again a strong man! not to be preachy but i would suggest eating a lot of organic raw vegetables and perhaps buy yourself a juicer and begin juicing vegetables, fruit and nuts and seeds. i’m a big believer that the body will begin to heal itself if we give it what it needs.
yeah the drought has been severe over the last few years with soaring temperatures. i know last summer was the summer from hell. i was working on a project in eureka springs, arkansas and there was no rain. i completed the project before july, got home and basically didn’t go outside until fall. i don’t have air conditioning but i did build a well insulated house, so i would open the house up at night and use a whole house fan to bring in the cooler night air and shut the house up during the day. even with temperatures over 110 it wasn’t too bad inside. this spring, however, the ozarks have received ample rainfall and the lakes and rivers are brimming over with water. it’s been a huge blessing and every time it rains i publicly give thanks to “ THE CREATOR OF ALL THAT IS” for the rain, on facebook. being thankful is such an important prayer, in my opinion.
my garden is small this year and that’s okay. my kale, beets,swiss chard, turnips, carrots, tomatoes and peppers are all doing well and once again, i’m thankful.
namaste, troy

hey daniel,

new to this site but not new to permaculture. singe gay dude here, ex-monk, vegan and into building a sustainable future. trying to " be the change i want to see in the world". i have looked to many souls over the years for inspiration, masanoba fukuoka, helen and scott nearing, bill mollison, just to name a few. i've a big follower of derrick jensen "endgame" and believe in most of the premises of that book. i feel that this industrial culture is killing all life on this planet and the time to change is now.

after leaving the monastery, i built my own solar house/studio, with rainwater catchment system and dry toilet. i've been in the process of building a water resevior and solar pumping system for irrigation for a synergisting type of gardening of vegetables in the ozark bio-region of missouri. one definitely needs to be a friend of time and single minded.

i'm looking to connect with like minded folks gay or straight but i must say, however, that the "gay culture" as a whole is mostly into the "more stuff" mantra of this death culture.

namaste,
troy

p.s. by the way, you are one good looking dude!
