right on. I spend a good many years in nature. 1 problem, for me, was my fascination with the human condition, and studying it by myself had its limitation. I found I love people and can enjoy most anyone.

i thought about the homestead. problem there is I really don't want to be self-sufficient .. that denies the connection to all. nah, even it the must deficient 'form' of appearance.. God delivers.

i prefer full-sufficient, and for that need more folks around to work with. (tho limitation does not exist it seems harder to me to imagine water in the desert.. than in the city.. or for that matter a good meal.. just saying ease of manifestation by being in the proper enviroment to fullfil your desires..)

I find discernment can help you find the good people. i keep to myself, and take care of what I have, that seems the best advice.

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” - Theodore Roosevelt

beautiful saying, to me. can't vouch for the man, only got so much time to read up on people.

take care my friend. God is with you, always.
