hello everyone!

Things have actually been pretty hard for me, but in a fit of trust in the universe, i am finding a break in the clouds to write to you all and share my dreams and my vision. I am learning how to trust even when things can appear bleak: something that is a good thing to get skilled at! I'm grateful for my lessons and how they afford me to be even better at loving those around me.

Gavain and i have built a wonderful website (oh! do check it out at www.idproject.us) and are extending ourselves out into the world and the universe with our unique gifts and love. We are reaching out to everyone we know and a bunch of people we don't know, too, for people to inspire, and people to help us create a world of love and caring.

We read about this guy that wanted a house, so he started with a red paper clip and, during a series of exchanges, he traded up for a house. He did it in 14 trades in one year (find out more at oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/200...ml). What is most interesting about Kyle MacDonald is not that he has a house for a paper clip, but that he set out for something he wanted and he connected people to the adventure of what is possible in the face of the unlikely. So much is possible for us, and when we love and help each other out a little, amazing things can happen.

Gavain and i are living the reality that there is so much more to this universe than what we can see with our eyes. We know that in each of us is a Divine essential being that not only deserves love and witnessing, but that by loving each other and seeing each other in our essential nature, we are literally creating our universe as it unfolds. The way to knowing this is so simple, even if it's not easy sometimes. Being aware of our bodies, our breath, the present moment are keys to realizing our truest dreams and visions.

So, in a moment, i'm going to share with you my vision, i hope it can inspire you. And i want you to join us by sending us $2. Yes, only $2 invites you into the adventure, and makes you a small part of the people's empowerment campaign (you can make this contribution with your credit card through our website or mail it to us at 81868 Lost Valley Lane, Dexter, OR 97431). We figure if we can get 100,000 people to send us $2 we can buy a small piece of property near Eugene where we can set up a community of chickens and goats hosting a garden and some humans to love each other and hold space for gatherings; where we can learn to love each other and the universe into being. This is an experiment and an adventure into the unknown that we can travel together. Right now we have $3. Only 99,997 to go. It's really not too much to ask. What do you dream about? What would you like to ask of the Universe?

We hope that you will join us on the adventure, even if you don't send us $2. Keep track of what we are doing by checking out our website!

I hope love is strong in your life and that you are realizing every day how your essential being is loved by the universe. Thank you for being here.

Love to you all.

Our vision:
We affirm we will live in a family/community with 4 to 6 other people (mostly women) on enough land to allow for chickens, goats, fruit trees, gardens, a pond and spaciousness. Our vision includes a caring environment where we practice being transparent with each other, seeing past personality to our essential nature and dedication to understanding many different layers of reality including (but not limited to) the awareness that we are all one; that our lives are all congregating toward the same destination (which also could be called spirit or god or the universe or the light).

We also envision work that we love that is meaningful, creative and contributes deeply to the world and motivates us to contribute even more. We love working with people, doing what we can to inspire them to be in touch with their divine essential nature. We envision enough resources in our lives to do our work well and live simply. (You can see what kind of things we are offering by checking out our website.)

We will have a home that we invite others to for gatherings that promote our well being, our sense of connection to ourselves, each other and spirit and see how connected those three (seemingly separate) entities are. We see our community laughing, crying, singing, praying, making music, planning and doing projects together. We see intimate sharing of our dreams and visions, our resources and our physical space. We see our home being a vibrant place that welcomes guests and family. We see a space that Mariner and Kite love to be: where they are loved, celebrated and engaged.

We pray to spirit to call us to the places that will guide us toward this shared vision. We state by our names and spirit that we are worthy and capable of this vision and that if can start to happen this week and major parts of this vision will be in place by the end of 2008.
