Yes, we need conscious habits like this - practiced and built to be safe AND heart-warriors during this pivotal time of societal disintegration and re-integration. Thanks for your thoughtfulness Jeff.

Thank you for this, Jeff. I do associate being armored with a place I no longer want to be & resent the hell out of having to accept satisfaction has to be found somewhere, somehow in this current reality. Maybe it will get easier to take armor on & off. I appreciate you reminding us of what is important.

Thank you, Jeff. I am so bereft of support/a tribe, and going off the rails lately. Your advice/reminder is so appreciated. Isolation usually precedes destruction/ dissolution of a target, so some of us are mini like Ukraines. (Probably most at this point, sadly.) If we were the complete loser nincompoops as we’re said to be, then this must be: MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING: THE SEQUEL.

It's not a time for jokes, but maybe it should be, after all. Anyway I saw something about a community over on the west side of your country that I wanted to bring to your attention, if you haven't seen it already. Something prodded me to share it:

Blueberry Commons is an intentional community and organic farm located in Powell River, British Columbia, Canada. The community is designed to be a unique combination of cohousing and a cooperative farm, where residents work together to manage the land and make decisions ¹.

The farm spans 16 acres and has a long history of farming in the community. It features a variety of crops, including blueberries, fruits, vegetables, and herbs. The farm is certified organic and offers a U-pick program, where visitors can pick their own fruits and vegetables ².

In addition to the farm, Blueberry Commons also offers housing units, with plans to develop up to 30 units in the future. The current development includes seven homes, with a mix of duplex units and single-family homes. The homes are designed to be energy-efficient and feature green buildings with good aesthetic and functional design ¹.

The community is guided by a strong sense of cooperation and mutual support. Residents work together to manage the farm, make decisions, and build a strong sense of community. Blueberry Commons is a unique and innovative approach to community living and sustainable farming.

If you're interested in learning more about Blueberry Commons or visiting the farm, you can contact them through their website or visit their farm stand, which is open seven days a week from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm ³ ⁴.
