When the wheels fell off life due to illness, deaths, heartbreaks etc (circa 2015), i scribbled notes in a notebook naturally with intentions about where to go, how to live. I visited many places seeking safety, creativity and community. While my notes didn’t reveal the plan per se, the exercise was valuable to discover what i wanted/needed/capabilities. Published as a “note to future self” to remind the importance of stating intentions from the heart (with assist from the head).
What I Seek in Community
- Golf carts for quiet transport like Caye Caulker
- Island but with easy access to mainland like Gabriola
- Ganja like Jamaica
- Strangeness of history like Pelilu
- Minimal dogma in religion like Bali
- Community centre and market like Pender Island
- Village of shops but not a strip mall
- Visitors come and go from guesthouses, tours, inns like Berkshires
- Music, recording studios, concerts, festivals like Salt Spring(?)
- Access to natural medical services & quality food
- Post office
Places to Live
Req: Anonymous, Creative, Safe + Community
- Torrey UT /Larry’s Land
- House on Gabriola
- Thai/Viet/Cambodia
- UK Protectorate (Falklands, VI)
- Japan (Okayama > south)
- Nova Scotia (Cape Breton) or other Maritimes
- Portugal / Spain / Greece
- Victoria if no other option – too “perfect” for action Dave
