Hello!

I started this group because I am looking for the perfect place for me to live on Planet Earth. Perhaps you have been to this place or know of a place?

Let's find this perfect place together!

Please introduce yourselves!!

Me first! I would like a life that is both quiet and also busy. I love different cultures, especially a culture that loves music and dance, and knows how to live! I believe in long meals, personal conversations, and really listening to people. I believe in caring, a healthy community is my neighbour's wellbeing as well as my own, and I believe that it is important to take the time to do what is important above work. We do not think back on our lives remembering work on our deathbed. We remember friendships and love. We also remember challenges that we met and overcame. I seek strength and wisdom and do not make excuses. I just want to live, and I want to have many quiet times in nature. If you listen, you will hear the wisdom all around you. I want to create, build, invent, and I want to share.

Hello Heidi,

The perfect community or place to live can be anywhere on this planet where caring, compassionate and sensitive folks have come together. 

Hi, my name is Craig and I have always been something of a wanderer, a nomad if you like.  In my travels I have come across all sorts of cultures and life styles in many and varied enivronments.  In the end,  as a group, its the people that make the difference. 

Individually, its anywhere one can really commune with the natural surroundings.   When on one's own beauty is surely in the eye of the beholder and it can be found on a deserted isle, the high arctic or a mountain top in the Hogar mountains. 

Coming back to people as a collective, the ideal village may well be right here on the Internet where folks from around the world can come together to exchange thoughts and experiences.

In any case, its good to be here.  Hi to everyone.

Craig!

Yes, today I was thinking 'home is where the heart is'.

Thank you for your thoughts, and I look forward to hearing more about your travels and what you have learned.

Has anyone here ever lived on a commune or perhaps tried co-op housing?  [ send green star]  [ accepted]
 
Hello! November 22, 2006 1:51 PM

I am thankful this day before thanksgiving for the opportunity to process meaningful thoughts with other people. I live in Hawaii on the island od Hawaii. My work and personal choices allow me to move around the island and state regularly. This place I call home has a very distinct cultural flavor. I myself have genetic contributions from Asia to Europe. We live in a place where many believe that "it takes a village to raise a child" and share the "keleana" or responsibility of caring for ourselves and being there for each other. All communities have some dysfunction as a result of this concept not being actualized by everyone in the community. In Na'alehu "the southern most town in the US) we have recently successfully lobbied with county, state and federal support to actually purchase coastal property for preservation. The people of this island in the last election have voted to increase the real property taxes by 2% in order to provide a financial base in which future endeavors for land preservation can be initiated. Many here know that we have made bad choices in the past with development such as Honolulu...but we can be proactive and creative. We can think out loud and act on thse thoughts...I have made many choices that were not the best ones and can relate to the human condition of imperfection...I like to believe in the goodness that lives in all beings and that we all try the best we can under the circumstances...We (hopefully) learn from our experiences and teach by example...we can only be responsible for our own actions, so we need to always be growing, constantly re-evaluating and evolving in our participation in life...we can go farhter in life collectively heading in the same direction just as the geese who fly in formation go much farther than they can on their own...a simple lesson of life is to intuitively know where we need to be going and start going that way, soon enough others will join and we will all go farther...Aloha, Paul  [ send green star]  [ accepted]
 
typos... November 22, 2006 1:54 PM

Please excuse a few typos in my last post...most impotant miscue "kuleana" means responsibility...it was also the term used by old Hawaiians to describe areas of "aina" or land.  [ send green star]  [ accepted]

Hi Paul,  What a wonderful sentiment and expressed so well.  Would that our Government  ad similar foresight.  Sadly the system here is focused on the destructive economic theory of exspansionism.  Fortunately there are those who are advocating for a greener future where tracts of land set aside so that trees take precedence over development.
