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
