Permaculture Paradise
Thursday, October 8, 2009 at 5:59PM I've been completely unable to pull together a post. It's lead me to seriously consider dropping the blog...
But now that I've slowed down on my journey and have settled into a peaceful space, creativity is arising, bubbling, I can feel it hitting the surface..... perhaps posts will emerge!
I have felt myself go from numbness to electric. In 36 hours.
To explain the new head-space, here is the literal-space.
Yep, that is Oscar, quite at home in Permaculture Paradise.
I'm wwoofing (Willing Workers on Organic Farms). The arrangement is that you work approx 5 hours/day in exchange for learning, accommodation and food. I really don't believe I'll ever want to leave this place (my first stop). The combination of my open verandah bedroom that has me wake with sunrise and birds, fresh organic food on tap, intense and delightful conversation with an incredible family, and a world of learning to be had.... in a place that is my fantasy home in every aspect.
I'm half perturbed and half popping-corn about this:
I was expecting a long and difficult journey to arrive at my perfect space. I was expecting a lot of challenges on an often dry and bumpy road. But I just landed in perfectville as soon as I started. I'm going to have exercise a lot of patience instead of just buying a plot next door. There is so much more that I need to see first. And a heck of a lot to learn before I begin my own journey creating a permaculture paradise.

Looks wonderful! Looks like you're on an awesome journal. I love your blog so much, never stop :P
I've been meaning to email you for ages, as I never made it to those places in Exmouth due to time constraints and travel partners, but had a wonderful trip 'up north' anyway and now in se asia. But more and more I feel WA, and Australia is home, and I need to see more there.. But I also really want to go to Africa and Europe. Gah, life is seriously too short!
Anyway, I will get around to emailing you one day! And hopefully one day we can catch up face to face. You're an inspiration, though not in a creative way for me, as I'm not a creative person at all, and can't see myself ever being one, haha. But just for your awesome trips and love of live and beautiful photos.
:) :)

How I miss that sky and the stars. Never to be found here (not if it´s not really, really freezing cold and even then...). Oh, that freedom over there!
Have fun! You lucky girl! :-)
