That’s the largest intentional community I’ve ever lived in, and I’ve learned that 100 people is too many for me. When Ming and I move somewhere else, we hope… Read More »
Hello, reader. How are you? Yesterday I went to a wild park with Ming. People ride horses there. There are some creeks and a fork of the Willamette River. I went there to sun, rest, and talk to the wind. I showed up in a horrible mood. So sad, missing my mom like hell, peevish,… Read More »
