Jump To Comment: 1wow, what a weekend - thanks to all who have played their part in this unfolding story
from the river that has been here for god knows how long, the wooded banks that saw life for nearly as long, the man who came from further a field, who came up the river and ended up living in a magical woods, to the folk who came over time to share in the magic and to help make things grow, to the people in the nearby village who pitched in together and helped make a beautiful, simple and powerful community, to the woman from beyond the village who took an interest in seeds and started saving them, to the friends who joined her in her back garden, to the folk who came from further afield for a few weeks back in 2002, to the folk who kept it going, kept the connections alive, to those who took it to the next level, to those who shared knowledge on building homes and making chairs, to those that lifted the spirits with tales and tunes around the fires, to those who shared time, tea, peace and quite, to those that were simply there, who smiled and who said nothing.
strange times indeed. But dont think it too strange for a moment that a little story as simple as this will end up being told by old un-hungry women in bolivia, young children without weapons in liberia, children in what was worn torn bosnia, primary school children on their ecological field trip to an eco village in lahinch. We are part of the story, we all have our bit to play, and the pleasure is simply living the life with the rest of this global community and knowing before laying down to rest that it is the only thing that makes sense, it has always been the way, it has always been simple, it has always been known
