Here

I arrived with my father here at Dancing Rabbit yesterday afternoon, after two days of driving, including at least 400 straight miles of fairly intense snow and rain in Pennsylvania, the remnants of the big recent east coast storm.

Arriving felt like my first day of college, even though I am already familiar with a lot of the community here at DR. There are a bunch of new folks that have also recently arrived, so I feel like a newbie all over again, in some regards. But I must say, the most immediately striking difference upon my arrival was the lack of green growth, and I was surprised by the appearance of the village without leafy trees and all of that other stuff. Buildings felt much closer together than they once had.

Other than that, things are pretty good, and I look forward to developing a routine here and getting into activities and things.

Will write more later, though.

A big part of my goal while living here at Dancing Rabbit is to keep solid documentation, and a solid journal of my activities and experiences. I know living the “ecovillage life” entails answering many questions from family and friends and everyone else about what exactly I am doing, so I want to make sure I do a good job of keeping folks informed of just what this new life entails.

But yea, more later.
