Day Fifteen/Sixteen

Hello,

Exciting things are happening. I'm seeing a clear vision of how I want to live. And I am acting on creating my new life. A few wonderful things in the vision, in this particular spot I've learned about, are multiple yoga studios, local buddhist retreat centers, a hip coffeehouse which welcomes performing artists, writers, poets. Several quaint shops, thrift shops, a farmers market, many galleries, mom-and-popbookstores, mountain views, hiking, music festivals, a river, performance spaces, workshops and gatherings for artists.

I see myself buying fresh produce and making goat cheese and beat salads...and maybe even growing my own veggies....do yoga at the base of the mountain with the other yogis...meeting musicians to collaborate with on my projects -- writing a children's album, another jazz album and singin' around, supporting the new people I meet as well.

My home there is peaceful, bright and warm. I cook for new friends, do readings at my place, plays, poetry, prose. I would get on the committee to help brainstorm about maintaining the local vibrance of artist community as well as the local commerce.

Basically....I'd become a citizen. A real person in the world working at achieving a utopian lifestyleor something strikingly similar. It has an Ayn Rand quality about it, this challenge. But, I'm ready remove my spectator clothes in exchange for the cloak of a participator.

Feeling inspired and strong.

Ephemerally Yours,

Michelle
