Homesteading Wanderers

[flofrog]

This has been my goal as well for some time. There is a small group involved. We will be buying a track of land on which to get off the grid.

In the meantime I have a rural property and I treat it with respect, and all the wildlife on it with respect, and do what I can to be self-sufficient. It's about symbiotic relationships in my mind. Mother Earth being the host for us all. 

Homesteading, or getting off the grid, has many benefits in my mind. You unplug from the human drama, the corruption of municipal power monopolies, and get in touch with nature. I have a business, so I am not saying businesses are all bad; but there are businesses with integrity and those that are just about greed.

As I see it nature is the balance of our tech world. I don't think we should go backwards and eschew technology. I think we should embrace knowledge, but with compassion. Being on a device—phone, tablet, computer—can be balanced with being in nature and connecting with the earth, communication with animals and plants.

lol I so see you as a greedy person Diana, just kidding, definitely the balance with devices is so needed.. There was this wonderful classic published in 1973 the secret life of plants, just reading a few pages makes you want to get off grid immediately !! lol
