And it’s always worth sharing. Been thinking a lot about your recent posts, just not a lot forming right now. My mind is very full with work.

in the night last night i am thinking. and i thought about how if there were a small “town”, or grouping of humanity, how not everyone would need to know everything. We would go TO someone who knows and can. And i thought of you. The one in the “town” who makes clothing. If your thing wore out, and you needed a new one to be the “second”, you would go to Deb G. Show her what you had, what had worn out, and she could reconfigure you a new one in order to go On.

Beautiful cloth. And beautiful thoughts of the small village group and each being having one special gift to share with the others. I love the thought of my sweater wearing out and going to DebG and having her reconfigure (what a word) a new sweater. I will dream of that tonight as the snowstorm blankets Maine. We already have 6 to 7 inches and more coming–then sleet. It is very cold.

My town has some interesting things going on but it also has a lot of problems. Major drug issues. Lack of employment. Government corruption. City officials that are just marking time until retirement. People who have lived here keep saying it is a dying town. I see potential for so much but…I also see that my niece and her generation are moving away because they cannot afford housing here. There are small villages nearby who have much lower tax rates. Education is years behind other towns.
I remember my times in the commune and I know I want to live that cooperative way. I can’t seem to find all that I want in one place. For now I am satisfied with what I find here and online. But how did this town survive for over 300 years?LikeLike

Yes, the beauty. I really cling to that. As Joanna Macy reminds us, we don’t stop loving someone when they are terminally ill.

My Town is becoming too expensive for young families. And with a smaller population–the taxes keep going higher and higher until finally the seniors and retired people give up. This is a college Town with a large (wealthy) alumni who want to live here. So they buy the homes. Need gardeners, housekeepers etc.
So we have many expensive trendy restaurants, a thriving library and arts community and the rest of the Town is health services/doctors/assisted living/gardeners/housekeepers/carpenters/plumbers trying to make ends meet and the homeless (a huge problem).LikeLike
