community anyone?
hi, ok just a thought, is anyone else here looking for a physical community of like-minded folks to team up with and create a sustainable community?
i am sure you are all aware that knowing what we know here from dw makes us quite odd out here in the rest of the world. i am looking for, or going to create a place out here to be in physical contact with a community. a terra-ark if you will.
location is still wide open, any ideas? just as a reminder....this is from dw's blog

permanent retreat from the material world is often a selfish act

for this reason, it is not a spiritual act but often a selfish one to retreat permanently from the demands of the material world, and live in blissful communion with nature.

there is a time for the “forest life”, when solitude and quiet are essential to the pursuit of integration and realization.

there is also a time to return to the difficulties and rewards of normal life, and apply to them the arts of illumined living.

without such men and women, thickly sown through the tapestry of business, politics, industry, education, medicine and religions as stars in the darkness of night, man as a divine being would long ago have perished.
