Hi John,
I came to Permies looking for someone interested in permaculture to come work on my farm in KY. I'm not sure how I stumbled across your post a few weeks ago, but it resounded with me so much and yet I debated then as I've done today about responding because even though I am currently single I haven't been actively looking for someone at this moment in time. Yet I had left the tab open to your post, letting my computer sleep, while I went about the organized chaos of my life. Today I finally woke it up, and was going through what I had previously abandoned on the screen and there was your post. I read it again, and I went hmmm, but went nahhh, and then went back and read it again, and said nahhh telling myself that's not why I went on the site. Asking myself why are you so pulled to write to this man you don't know, for a reason you weren't searching for? Yet here I am.
It's impossible for me to explain what exactly it is that you wrote, but there's an intensity, a wanderlust gypsy soul, with a heart that yearns for permanence with familiarity to be with someone that is the pure definition of HOME, yet not forsake the very essence of the truth you know about yourself that I pulls me in. Or is it the fact that while I have familial relations, and friends, very few I'd considered close and yet those of mine too are scattered across the country and I don't talk to or see enough of them.
Maybe it was as simple as your photo from Los Osos, for I was born and raised in SLO county and spent the majority of my life there before setting out on several adventures to WA state, TX, AL, PA, VA with lots of stops in between. Or maybe still the fact that we could share stories and laugh together at the crazy adventures that came before.
There are so many little things, pieces that echo to me from what you wrote, that here I am unable to talk myself out of writing you, for if nothing else I might've found a kindred soul and someone to laugh with until that right one appears.
