I am so into the idea of a commune, even if it is cult like. It sounds idyllic. But then all the people and I just can't... Unless I'm the charismatic cult leader, then it would be fine.
I've been reading about all these new communes that are springing up all over the place in the kind of homes that rent themselves as wedding venues during the summer, and they sound idyllic and great but I am yet to meet one where a charismatic/cult like leading figure didn't emerge and all the usual hilarity of hierarchy and agenda's ensue. I think in some ways it's inevitable, but also not a reason to not keep trying to live with more community connection.
Great writing again EB! And a great ariel photo!! The HAR mobile and your brilliant pink VW camper parked side by side......Sporter must have been somewhere nearby too! Of course he's still there with you in spirit. xxxxx
So great to be able to bring that photo out, yes, our vehicles parked side by side, love that, and Sporter must have been somewhere. He runs about with my boy now in the happy hunting grounds.
Talking sticks N O nonononononono I never could obey that thing 😂🤣

Such a shame. It becomes like any organisation that starts off with beautiful intentions and then come the committees, the meetings. Total buzz kills.
yes, exactly this.
