We visited a remarkable environment
last week. It is one of those places that is a constant work of art
being created, a world of its own. The entire time-space-mind-feeling
atmospheres are enclosed with good intentions, cooperation,
inspiration and appreciation. Have you found places like that in your
life? They make the mundane seem dull in comparison.
The big farming plantation we visited
is run by a family dedicated to natural lifestyle and self sustaining
technology, vision, and ever-changing developments. The children of
the parents fit right into the scene as do some of the locals and
enthusiastic world travelers who pass through. This eco-creation is
in a valley in Chile. There are other places where I have found the
same high spirit of endeavor and success: in the hills of St. Ann's
Bay, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia communities; with acoustic musicians in
the countryside of southwest Missouri; among masters students at an
art college in Totnes, England; on a small urban farm on top of a
wooded hill in Halifax.
People are productive and the life is
magical when working together to build a vision incorporates allowing
the dream to grow with respect and skillful work, joy for the small
things in life and understanding of the worldly perspective the
endeavor brings. They can let it flow with deep commitment and ease
of expectation.
Lets find our heart places and give
them a boost of appreciation and participation!
