To love one another.<br />
<br />
She was becoming a conduit--no longer claiming ownership over the
beauty she created spanning one plane and the other. Therefore taking
ownership of herself, her essence. She there, she here. She arrived
in Now.<br />
<br />
We learned how we are at once water and entire. Subject to the
source and a vessel for it. And we did not lose ourselves so easily
now.<br />
<br />
She took a deep breath and let the false tree crumble to ash. She
pulled out root after root, wincing with the pain but not closing her
eyes. Felt the cold air bite into all the empty spaces she'd made.
Spaces for truth to grow, for love to warm.<br />
<br />
She took another breath and before she could think was spun into a
tango. Her steps were clumsy, unsure, but genuine. She feared more
pain when she saw another face smile at her, but kept dancing. She
found she had no more bricks to put around her, suspected she'd hidden
them from herself in a dream.<br />
<br />
She returned a love letter from the distant North a few days later, in her own words.<br />
<br />
Together, many of them dug up the box they'd locked the Scale in long
ago. Another breath, opened it, looked. Saw how they had to take all
of the balance, love it all.<br />
<br />
She grew very sick with the knowledge of what she had to leave
behind. She suffered three fevers, felt her blood killing things she
never thought she would see die. And as her skin cooled, she felt all
of her, breathing. Her eyes adjusted to the light, her lips and throat
gradually found their strength again. While she waited, she played
with colors and water.<br />
<br />
"Can I have you?" (Everyone and everything asked.)<br />
<br />
"You do."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
From a series of conversations over the past few weeks, it has become clear that we need to rethink our current plan as a crew. So much growth, and such a wide variety of experiences over the last six months has been intense! We find ourselves confronting needs that often get overlooked in our lifestyle...certain environments, personal space, individual goals relating experiences or skills we wish to have. And we also recognize that such extreme togetherness inevitably needs balance...space will keep our relationships and selves healthy. <br />
<br />
Thus, it seems we are closing the first chapter of the Loki adventure, and beginning the next. <br />
<br />
We are pausing the veggie conversion until we secure more stable funding, for one. That will take a while, but we do not want to continue the use of diesel fuel in the meanwhile. It is looking like the bus will remain stationary in the interim...sorting out those details currently.<br />
<br />
Kaley is seeking an education in herbalism, off on her own adventure already. <br />
<br />
Jeff is visiting friends and family in Philly right now, taking a personal vacation of sorts, playing music. I hear he will likely stay for the Philadelphia Folk Festival in August.<br />
<br />
Jason is planning on returning to Philly for August for the Folk Fest as well. He and Max have been having conversations around the idea of focusing on music for a while, maybe arranging a small tour in the next few months? Max has been writing a lot of new songs, and learning them, and Jay has been writing a lot of poetry that seems headed for songville. (For the record, I would totally attend a Max and Jason show.) <br />
<br />
Rabbit needs wilderness, so she will be leaving Asheville soon to decide how she wants to spend her time elsewhere. I saw her browsing agricultural internships online yesterday.<br />
<br />
Max and I plan to stay in Asheville at least until we decide what to do with Loki in the upcoming months. I have a feeling she would be a great outdoor clubhouse for someone with property or a farm. She just needs to be started up 2 to 4 times a month. Not too worried about securing something for our bus...we have a bit of time. We have been warmly welcomed to continue to participate in The Landing community, which feels like a good springboard from which to bounce to the next adventure. <br />
<br />
I am a little torn about what form my own adventure will take, though I have zeroed in on a lot of needs and wants I can address. I need a personal space...haven't had my own room since May of 2011! And of course I need to continue my studio practice, which has been healthily and steadily growing, taking up more of my time, in the past two months. I am open to setting up a tour of existing communes and collectives, so I can pursue the social researcht hat has been my primary interest on the trip. And I am very interested in seeing Washington State.<br />
<br />
Through all of these recent shifts in the adventure, a few important realizations have emerged.<br />
<br />
We are each others family, and still share the same dream, of putting all these experiences and explorations into practice, in our Someday Space. Have we talked on this blog about The Someday Space? It is the idea that fuels this adventure, even when it begins to feel TOO difficult. The Someday Space is where we want to settle, to grow food, to play music, and to support collaboration in all areas of our lives. It is a venue for creativity and performance, and has a rich relationship with a nearby town or city. It is not isolated. It is a place to educate and be educated in any skill or method or practice that a resident or guest wishes to explore. It will probably include a collectively run restaurant, dogs, zip lines, outdoor art installations, several dream houses, trails, slack lines, at least one bus, goats, a kale patch, and lots of bright colors. We learn more about The Someday Space every day, with each experience. And The Someday Space is what we on the Loki Crew are looking for in our travels. We are looking for it in the people we meet, the land we tour, and the things we learn to make or do. The past six months has been about looking for the Someday Space in learning how we best function as a family, what togetherness means (and doesn't mean), what is necessary for a conscious, respectful community to function.<br />
<br />
So, this idea of a phase 2 makes perfect sense. Six of us, with the Someday Space in mind, diversifying our experiences and skills, enriching the collective dream. Balancing our relationships with adequate space. Strengthening our relationships by nurturing ourselves in the ways we individually need to. Widening our perspectives. Spreading out our tendrils and scoping out the country in six places at once.<br />
<br />
I hope you keep following our blog! It's likely to become much more interesting, if anything, in the next few months, as we report back from our variety of experiences. Stay in touch!<br />

Love,<br />
Jackie<br />

<br />
<a href="http://blogspot.us5.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ca5499955d39ee0675a646d0&id=dc5de3d3d6" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">The Loki Post</span></a><br />
<br />
The newsletter is NOT the same as our blog. It is about YOU...all the teachers and sources of great ideas and inspiration that make up our network and support system. The idea behind this newsletter is to expose our network
to itself...strengthen it by encouraging a better interconnectivity,
exchange of ideas. We see so many people doing amazing things, and I am
constantly thinking, oh my YOU should meet THIS person and talk, or
these projects would make an AWESOME collaborative. And for the most
part, when we do connect people actively, good things have happened. Our hosts at the Landing just took their circus show up to philly, Loki's birthplace, and so many amazing new relationships happened when they hooked in with people we knew from the circus scene, Occupy scene, urban garden scene. So
we are attempting to do that regularly by setting up this newsletter as a
nexus. We will include descriptions of projects we are seeing, and
contact information for the people in charge of them (better still have
the people in charge of them write that description themselves), talk
about communities we've stayed with and how they are uniquely making it
work, and then all the ideas, recipes, sustainable living methods,
gardening tips, discussions surrounding said people and projects will
have a place to be shared. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
I
am seeing the bus more and more as a vehicle of communication. This is definitely how my personal mission on the bus is evolving, but I suspect it might be beyond me, too. We could become a thread between
all the cool stuff non-nomadic folks are doing. There is so much good
happening on a small scale in this country but it can be so isolated...a
lot of people don't think about how much more independent they could be
from the structures they are criticizing if they were more
interdependent, resourceful, collaborative with others seeking the same
freedom. This idea is already showing its merit in the local food
movement...small communities and farms supporting each other, creating a
well-rounded selection but maintaining their ethical codes and quality
by centralizing on a small scale (the farmers' markets, CSAs, etc). But
I think there are a lot more aspects of DIY living and innovative
sustainable lifestyles that would benefit from this sort of
organization.<br />
<br />
I hope you're all into it! I appreciate any feedback too...email lokithespacebus at gmail if you've got ideas!<br />

You haven't heard from us in a little while because we are oh so busy with a number of projects. <br />
<br />
<br />
We've been graciously welcomed into a little circus commune in West Asheville called The Landing, to stay until Dr. Dave is ready to pay attention to our bus for a week. Here, we've been spending our time learning on an intimate level just one way people are managing to live creatively, collaboratively, and sustainably. Many that live here are acrobats and circus performers and yogis, but there is a LOT more than that going on every day. There are organic gardens to tend to and goats and ducks and fencing projects for the aforementioned. Painters, sculptors, musicians, singers, dancers, and bavarian pretzel makers round out a flourishing creative community. Tree has been teaching us acro-yoga. Iz and Rich are campaigning at Occupy for Ringmaster and Ringmistress of the United States. Everyone loves hiking, swimming, and adventuring around these mountains. <br />
<br />
Max and Jeff have each been producing a lot of music, and Jackie hasn't been able to stop drawing for a week. Jay has been reading us some great poetry from his journal. Max and Jackie are painting a mural in the Landing's warehouse of some curious looking creatures in a circusy scene. Jay and Max have been getting really good on the slack-line. Brit and Kaley have each taken personal leave from the bus for a stretch, and Jeff plans to embark on his own adventure within the week. <br />
<br />
Aside from carpentry and fencing projects, garden work, animal care, creative and circus practice, the crew has been putting together a kickstarter campaign to raise the funds to pay for the veggie conversion, which includes shooting and editing an informational video. All of which you will see activated, with a little luck, (Kickstarter has to approve our project) within the month! <br />
<br />
Finally, we will be posting new items in our Etsy shop throughout the next week. Art and zines and jewelry! Check that out<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/lokithespacebus" target="_blank"> HERE!</a><br />

How I miss them so!) visiting my other family, I have revamped my personal website, and put up selections from the sketchbook I've been traveling with. Check out my perspective of our experiences thus far under "From the Sketchbook!":<br />

We brainstormed ways to better walk our talk, and steps we can take towards evolving consciously. See the Mission section of the blog for an updated statement of what we are trying to achieve, and read excerpts below! <br />
<br />
Our bus seeks
to become a model for an alternative way to coexist, in which
individuals are empowered to sustain themselves and enrich a community
through their strengths and passions. We want to demonstrate through
our project that creative and critical exchange with diverse voices and
networks is imperative for this lifestyle to function well. In this
way, we seek to learn and teach life practices that are sustainable,
responsible and respectful to ourselves, each other and our
environment. <br />
<br />
Before we can really move forward we
must find an alternative to powering our trip with diesel fuel, and
move cleanly between communities. If we can afford to modify a
vegetable oil fuel system to power the Spes Bus we can stop wasting
energy and time traveling with an expensive, unsustainable
technology that contradicts our most basic values.<br />
<br />
We will be
working with an alternative automechanic in Asheville over the course of
the next month to outfit our bus with a veggie oil system. We will
need to add an extra, heated tank for the oil and a filtration system so
we may recycle waste oil into our fuel. Dave, our mechanic has been
converting diesel vehicles to veggie for years, and has an outstanding
reputation in the Asheville area. He has agreed to apply his
experience in veggie mechanics to our house on wheels, and furthermore
to teach us his design as when we install it in his shop. This enables
us to maintain and teach our system as we travel.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.organicmechanic.com/Diesel-Conversion-Kit/" target="_blank">Our kit</a>,
including all parts Dave needs to build his system except the giant
tank we'll need to squeeze somewhere in the undercarriage, comes from
the Organic Mechanic, a trusted source of equipment for the diesel to
veggie conversion. It costs 2, 229 dollars. We will also need to buy a
second large tank to hold the oil to be recycled. The remainder of our
minimum budget is to compensate Dave for his time installing and
teaching us about our modifications. To afford the project, we will attempt to have it approved by the well known creative fundraising platform called Kickstarter. Alternatively, we will create an independent fundraiser here on the blog following their model.<br />
<br />
This conversion is imperative for the short and long-term success of our endeavor. One foundational promise we have made as a community is to
live as
sustainably as possible, taking good care of our planet, creating a
cycle of good health. We wish to treat the towns, collectives, farms
and
families we visit, however large or small, with the same respect, using
our time and skills to
incite creative collaboration in the arts and participate in community
projects. Relationships formed in these contexts yield
mutual education and inspiration, understanding and happiness. When we
spend our time well in a place, we leave behind us, in gratitude,
finished
projects, musical experiences, works of art, creative ideas and
thoughtful dialogue. the Loki crewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11057576000144561199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2237670644611343061.post-35951667871352296032012-05-31T12:58:00.002-04:002012-05-31T16:06:40.974-04:00Check Point<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
As our trusty mechanic, Jim says, it's time to <br />
<br />
"Check your oil. Check your tire pressure. Check yourselves."<br />
<br />
We
on the space bus have been talking a lot about how the moment feels
like the closing of the first chapter of the trip, and the opening of
another. We are comfortable with each other...trust and patience abound
within the family. We are all beginning to get a grip on our personal
struggles and to define our personal goals, and encouraging and
supporting one another in all this. Problems on the bus these days seem
to be external, rather than internal, which almost make them not
problems, because what is a problem up against six creative and
optimistic heads, hearts?<br />
<br />
We've made our current
priority the addition of a veggie oil system to Loki, so we might have a
chance at affording to continue our quest across the country later this
summer. The list included a tour of our neighbor's veggie school bus
(front engine, 90s), research on what system would work best for our old
girl (rear engine, 80s), finding a suitable mechanic or enough people
who know what they are doing to help us, then to install a veggie
filtration system, extra tank, heater and additional fuel lines to the
engine.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yesterday I spoke with Dr. Dave, veggie oil man in
Asheville, yesterday, and worked out a deal where if we pay him for
parts and labor, he will not only convert our bus but teach us how as he
does so. Great! Because we were nervous about paying someone to
convert Loki and then not having a clue about how to troubleshoot and
maintain the system. Dr. Dave is well reputed in Asheville as a guy who
knows his stuff, recommended to us by a girl who converted her own bus
and another guy who runs his own machine shop in the river arts
district. Says the tank, the kit, and some additional valves are going
to run us just under 2,000, and figure 15 hours at 80/hr in labor. So
onto our list goes the task of raising 3,000 dollars in the next month.
Today I will make headway into a brand new kickstarter page with which
we will fundraise just for Loki's operation.<br />
<br />
<br />
The first priority indicates it's time to leave Burnsville and
head to Asheville, where lie the resources. Which brings us to the next
overdue project...thanking everyone who has made our stay in the
Burnsville area so rich, rewarding and enjoyable. So we threw a party
last night on the farm! A potluck, in honor of our Philly roots and a
Southern tradition, and everyone we know from three towns was invited.
Fried chicken, and sliced watermelon, and soup with the greens Jeff and
Brad and Max and I weeded for down the road, peach moonshine and pasta
salad, an evening jam around the piano in the trailer bed still hitched
to the truck, a fire and old sing-alongs underneath a huge Carolina
night sky. Much laughing, hugging, strong voices, love, gratitude. One
huge family all together, who we know we will come back to now and
again. <br />

There's talk of reevaluating our mission statement, paying
special attention to the transition between our intentions leaving
Philly and our understanding of what we are after now. The trip took
us, in many ways. We have been so much in the moment every day for the
past five months that the journey has molded our values, dreams,
perspectives a little each day. As a result, what we say we want today
is much closer to the truth than it was five months ago. It is still
community, still to live according to values we develop through
experience, rather than scripture, still a better understanding of
unconditional love, and even more so today than ever to nurture our
creativity and gifts to the world. We are still looking for a space to
ground the community, rooms of our own. I think our mission has evolved
to include the very important need to be ourselves, check in often with
what we want as individuals, make sure we are giving ourselves
permission to be it, do it, find it. That, we have learned, is when a
community functions best, when communication becomes second nature and
cooperation not a hurdle. We have not, as we thought, been able to
squeeze extra travelers on the bus comfortably, but we have much more
than we thought shared creative space and projects with others as our
paths intersect along the way. Local and healthy eating have become
much more fundamental to our vision for the trip and especially for the
Someday Space, wherever it puts down its roots. A farm is most
definitely on the blueprint, now.<br />
<br />
<br />
I would add to our mission statement and current priority list
CONNECTIVITY. One of our surrogate road moms, joy, used the word when
she was describing what is important to her in her life now, by the
campfire last night. We have been so blessed with being raised by
supportive families, by our Fuhrly extended family back in Philly, by
each other, and by all the adoptive siblings, parents, guardians who we
have picked up throughout this trip. Our network is such a special one,
and so enormous, at this point, I think we must be very committed to
nurturing it, reviving it often with correspondence and visits. I'm not
sure we would be successful at what we are trying to exemplify without
such a magical family, and to lose touch would be taking our very
foundation for granted. And I certainly want to be a part of this
family as it grows, which it must. I am going to compile a master
contact list for Loki in the next couple of weeks. So, if you would
like to be added to it, please send whatever contact info you would like
us to have to lokithespacebus@gmail.com. If not, I will come find you!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Here is the beginning of a story I am writing; you will have to follow along for X amount of time to know it all! Love, rabbie.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They said we were just people, but I knew better than that.
We were magical creatures flying through space and time on our space ship
knowing it was not really space and time at all, but an illusion. All that
really means is that we were aware of the fact that our lives were just ours,
in our own hands, and so we treated them so. This is not the way that other
humans were acting, for it was in a time of great selfishness and corruption
that we began that glorious journey. All we really wanted to do was be free,
and all I wanted to do was to make my own reality reflect the dreams that had
been dwelling in my head for years.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>These
were dreams of self-sufficiency, dreams of understanding the Earth well enough
to live right from it, hands dirty and calloused, and a true symbiosis of
respect. But alas, I was reminded time and again of the industry and social
standards present in those times, and though I wanted to wash them away with
one swipe of a damp rag, I couldn’t make those things disappear. All I could do
was keep on, the gypsies and I in our shambled caravan, and hang on tight to
all we held dear. Many times, this was each other, and other times, this was
our own fleeting feelings of stability.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
suppose it would be a lie to say we knew what we were doing. In fact, everyday
was a surprise, and often a great one at that. We kept being handed gifts that
just poof! dropped out of mid-air. Some call this synchronicity, or the
universe looking after us. I thought we were leaving a pretty good karmic trail
behind us, and I felt like we were getting what we deserved ( and not getting
what we didn’t ). Maybe “deserve” isn’t the right word, because who can decide
that? I suppose only yourself or someone else, but I’m tired of other’s
projections of us. Dirty hippies, wandering nomads, merry minstrels, furry
freaks – whatever we were – it was all love and a good amount of struggle, but
always unconditional love. I never knew 6 people so in love. We taught each
other about one another and everyone taught me about myself. It was
uncontrollable, continual growth. Sort of felt like some sick form of
self-inflicted torture at times, but only because we had to be so open, so
honest that it hurt, but this made for good kinship.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>So
there we were whirling and swirling down the East coast into an unknown abyss
of oblivion and it was all very exciting. Sitting up on the edge of the front
seats in that 48 year old hound of a vehicle, all 35 feet thrusting forward
down the highway, chug chug chug, silver and red, maxing out at 55. 55, that’s
as fast as we ever got, but I swear there were times we were traveling the
speed of light. The captain seat was a good one, too. Going through tunnels was
like going through vortexes. And all of everything rocked back and forth like
in a big boat at sea. Our house on wheels was as rickety as a rocket soaring
through the sound barrier and it all stayed in place with bungee chords.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
chords to our soundtrack were Bobby Dylan and old timey jams, paving the
musical pathway to heaven. Woody said it, it’s a hard travelin’, I thought you
knowed. There were times of seemingly eternal blobbing out, tired of it all.
Had had enough, dammit! But alas, it was always love when it came pummeling
back down to it. We had to keep our heads in the game or we’d lose it for sure.
Lucy, our girl she powered on down and we rolled into Asheville and right into
the corner of someone’s fence. It was 3 in the morning and we were all just
zombies, exhausted from a day of being stranded in a grocery store parking lot
for hours with a dead battery and then a 5 hour drive. It got confusing and we
parked on the side of a random residential road and slept the night. Luckily
the next morning we found a fellow bus-dwelling hobbit named Forest that
pointed us in the right direction. Into town it was! Our first stop was Jack of
the Wood, a leafy bar full of bluegrass music and solid local beer. I drank so
much of that beer, it mighta been the best damn beers I ever had, or ever
wanted. The music was damn good too, different musicians every night. We busked
a lot around town, then spent a couple of bucks on some tea and coffee to warm
up our fingers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was good money;
it’s a busker’s haven down there.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>There
was all sorts of characters on the street, including 73 cents. He wore a sequin
shirt and carried around a broken guitar, askin’ for 73 cents. One day he got
real close up to Marlin and Jed, right in their faces, and said
“WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!” And then paused dramatically, “I
mean, wee.” We hit ‘em all by storm, and stumbled drunkenly around town at night
hootin and hollerin and dancin honky tonk like. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>ITHINKIT’SBETTERIFISPEEDUPHERE</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Everything
was going all right in Asheville, we definitely found a groove in there real
quick. I’d say it was something like getting caught in a tornado of beautiful
minds and exchanging our knowledge left and right, warmed by a wood-burning
stove of a house full of books and wonderful folks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People are strange, and so are we. Works out well. God I
couldn’t believe all the amazing books that filled that wood floored, rocking
in a chair of a living room. Herbalism, sustainability, why capitalism sucks,
foraging, DIY everything…all you really need? Almost, anyway.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We
must of been there a month, swirling in and out of random absurdities. Jed
walks around with his banjo, I find myself smitten with a rat named Lily that I
sometimes carry around in my shirt. In fact they all carried rats and dogs and
other furry loves of theirs. There was one night we had the bus parked in a
random abandoned gravel lot off the side of Patton Ave, a fairly busy and sort
of industrial road, one of the main ones into town, and learned of Tommy Two
Tone. He was a rather skinny homeless bum, riding around the bus on his bicycle
for days, we couldn’t quite figure him out. Esmeralda opened the door with the
lever and asked what his deal was and he biked away, mumbling something.
Eventually he came around and swooped Marlin, Tuki and Bok into a sermon of his
own. “It’s all one. There’s no problem. Nooo problem. We’re all friends. All
friends.” He said as he entered the bus. We were all a little weary. I was
afraid he might spontaneously combust or something and wasn’t sure if it was a
good idea to be sitting so close to him, but really that’s all he said, “We’re
all friends here. There’s no problem. All friends. Noo problem.” He said the
lot was land he partially owned, and that we could stay there 3 more days.
Sometimes creepiness compels you to move on, and so we did. Tired of being
aimless and kicked out of everywhere, we decided to head for the mountains that
had been teasing us in the distance, 360 degrees of glorious lust that I’d been
eye balling all the time. And we immersed ourselves within them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Perched
on our hippie paisley handmade cushions Esmeralda and I had sewn months before,
I anxiously awaited trees, grass, and dirt. Fresh air. In fact I ached for it
with my every being. Truth be told, I’m not much of a city person, I never was
but didn’t know it until I moved from farm-lush and open south Jersey and moved
to Philly for 4 years. No, the city is no place for me. It makes me feel
trapped and I crave green and yearn for luscious open expanses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s really the clusterfuck of chaos
that just drives my head mad. Too many people, too many things, just too much
stuff. It’s mayhem. And when I am in and amongst the great glorious flora and
fauna of this Earth, I fell more whole, more centered, more focused, more
content.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>It
was especially entertaining when we were parked on an incline and we would put
our drink down on the table and it graciously slid itself towards me. It was
rather courteous of the table, I suppose, but sleeping was a bitch and always
made my back sore when we weren’t flat. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We listened intently to the Doors and determined it sounded like
robot space sound. Rather confusing, really. O! And a hint of the Beach Boys!
“Every instrument has this weird, crunchy space tone.” Jed said. “Hello!
Helloooo! Hi! How ya doin!? Hello!” and he waved. The ants were endless.</div>

<br />
The past few weeks..................I've been doing some self maintenance. Well, maybe more like complete rearrangement from the inside out. It's pretty hard to rearrange your insides, considering they're so stuck and wedged in tight little gooey places. Just when you think you know yourself, you really don't, and then when you do, all you can say is: "Holyfuck! This shit is crazy."<br />
<br />
The farms are blissful for me. Trees, mountains, dirt; it's all aces in my book. It's my head that drives me mad, and the scenery doesn't seem to change that. I've challenged myself to a duel with....well, myself. Trying to address the parts of me that I'm not content with, the parts of me that are in such physical and emotional pain, the parts I sometimes feel like I have no control over, but want to learn how to control because really, I've got a lot of work to do in ways I didn't even know existed before. This way of life I've embarked on has opened a lot of doors, and I am a curious creature that has to open all of them. So I'm hopping around like a madman from door to door to door, creeping in, rolling around, singing songs, and bursting out and into the next one. It's been impossible to relax, and talking has never been so hard in my life. I took a day off from verbal communication a couple of weeks ago, and it was amazing. I felt no pressure, and still communicated well with everyone around me. This, I've decided, is of ultimate importance to me. Forcing each other to depend on words to communicate all the time is too much, and we forget how capable we are of understanding in other ways. There are days when I am completely consumed by pain in my whole body and fogginess in my head (thank you, chronic lyme disease, I think) that it feels like I will never heal and it's too hard. But really I just need to allow myself the time and attention to do just that; to <b>heal</b>. We can never neglect ourselves.<br />
<br />
We have this conversation all the time with each other about what it's like to be the freaks. That is so say, what it's like to live outside of the "social norm," in the romping gypsy way that we do, and I've never been so disoriented in my whole life. Even though this feels more right than anything else I could be doing, I've felt confused and at a loss so much of the time. This, I can tell, will be an extremely important lesson if I can manage to finagle through it. There's something really powerful and humbling in putting yourself in the middle of chaos and just letting it ride to see what happens. I recommend this to everyone. So many people tell me they wish they were doing what we're doing, or don't think that they can. I think everyone should just do it in whatever capacity that means to them; step so far out of your comfort zone that it hurts, and then you can really know yourself. If we're always comfortable with who we are, how do we learn? What's the point?<br />
<br />
It's not all daisies and roses all the time, but I don't think it'd mean much if it was. We plant, grow, blossom, whither, die, and become dirt for new birth. It's genuine.<br />
<br />
O, and I'm learning to juggle!<br />

Underwater pitching riding waves together, screaming our joy and fear of too much,</div>

hearing it together</div>

It hurt then; we were growing stronger. Our heart muscles burned from the exertion of trying and trying again. We practiced hugging ourselves better, though our thoughts lingered on holding each other. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We grew for people's bellies as we ourselves became giants, hoping it would all just slow down. Bent, releasing what we thought necessary for the sake of a good stretch, creating space in our new cloud castle. Welcoming whatever face shows up on the page of the next chapter.</div>

Things are moving along well here at Snaggy Mountain, but Jared needs space to invite more WWOOFers to rotate through and work with him throughout the summer. As for us, our quest for the right space and community for our personal visions of home to take shape. The conversation resulted in a rough plan, which we will be fine-tuning over the next week, to get as far as we possibly can on the conversion to a veggie-oil system in the next month. We will be looking for a new destination to aim for by mid-June.<br />
<br />
To Do List!<br />
<br />
1. Set up a kickstarter page to raise money for the conversion. We are looking at about 1,000 dollars, including transportation to and from the local scrapyards and Asheville, parts, and potentially labor if we find any mechanical work we cannot accomplish ourselves. We will be working out the estimate more specifically in the next few days once we:<br />
<br />
2. Phone calls to the list of mechanics, conversion-graduates, and bus people; compile research and figures.<br />
<br />
3. Field trips to scrap-yards with our neighbor Gwyn, who converted her schoolbus Elsie herself, look for parts.<br />
<br />
4. Help Jared get the rest of the apple trees, potatoes, and herbs in the ground.<br />
<br />
5. Jackie is finishing her last few commissions and make a trip to the post office! Woohoo!<br />
<br />
6. Network in the area, see if the next destination is a farm in these parts, or back to Asheville, or somewhere in the wide world!<br />
<br />
7. Build dining table and: <br />
<br />
8. Plan and throw a Welcome to Snaggy Mountain dinner for all the amazing people we've gotten to know in the community.<br />

I wake up on the ridge under some mosquito netting to a burning pink
sunrise over blue mountains. Hang up my sleeping sack, zip up my bag,
and hike down to the farm. Cow paths, dodging thorns and patties all the
way down the hills. Fried eggs and taters, oatmeal, and coffee over a
breakfast fire next to Loki. Joined by Max and Rabbit and Brad. All I
need to do today is paint and photograph this place for our family that
isn't here to see it. I think the others will be weeding up in the
field. If the tractor comes today we can plant the potatoes. Our big dreams are fulfilled through simple purposes these days. We have space to dance. Lots of light, clear minds, happy bus crew. </div>

DOING! Planting strawberries, blueberries, apple trees, asparagus, potatoes, raspberries. Harvesting wild greens and learning about medicinal herbs in the 67 acres of pasture, orchard, pine thicket, forest, hills, mountains right outside Loki's front door. Making sanctuaries for ourselves, enjoying the option of space, and the stronger bonds that creates within our family. Balancing. Painting, weaving, writing, making music, drawing. Building from salvaged and found materials...a mailbox, and outhouse, a basketball court, a scarecrow, rails around a new deck. Stretching, doing headstands, cartwheels, hiking, running, swimming, jumping, stargazing. Dancing! Basketball, soccer, hackey, fetch. Dogs everywhere. Travelers passing through, helping out, playing with us. Cooking over the fire. Fresh homemade bread every day. Designs for a chicken coop, outdoor kitchen, dining table for the hilltop, a festival?! <br />

y'all (yes I've picked up a south'rn drawl) some updates! OKAY! Having
said that...a large portion of this post will include fabulous photos of

Wow! Wasn't that fun! I feel great having done so many exciting things in so many different places! Life sure is grand!<br />
<br />
Okay...back to now! First of all, let me give you a brief synopsis of what life for our little Kalemonster has been in the last few weeks. Burnsville = great little bumblefuck mountain town (pardon my French, Mother). Amazing community. We are practically celebrities here. Everyone in town has heard about "the Wwoofers" (though technically we aren't even registered on the site....slipped under the radar again! HAH!) And they all want a piece of us. Or at least to capitalize on our able bodies (ehh...) and hardworking hands! Last two weeks we were at Dig In Community Gardens....and people were bringing us baked goods every single day to thank us for our work in their community! I'm telling you...it's wild what starts to happen when you put out the good vibes to the universe, the earth, and humanity. We got berry pie! Pecan pie! Oatmeal cookies! Chocolate chip cookies! Homemade bread! YUM! It feels really good to be making a positive impact! SPREADING LIGHT AND LOVE FOREVER!<br />
<br />
On a darker note...I did have an emotional melt down last week...woah baby...it was intense. Lots of tragedy. But I came out just fine. And let a lot go. Mostly fear. And realized a lot of my physical pain was not really physical at all...but emotional baggage I had been hanging on to. Some times you need a little purging...a little pruning away of what does not serve you anymore. It hurts like hell. But it sure does make you grow. <br />
<br />
Anyway...I am feeling more alive and excited than I have in awhile! We have set up shop at a farm that is just starting. Our new friend Jared, an incredible light being, is just beginning a huge growing operation and creative community. 67 acres of pure bliss! A total blank canvas! It's amazing. We are officially starting a family band! Everyone has been playing music like crazy. Even I have been singing my face off...and I'm sounding good since I finally let me voice out of it's cage. Flying free! YAY! Oh and Jared plays keys like magic and has already set up a jam space and it's FUCKING AWESOME! Okay so I'm pretty excited about life right now. More to come about the new space and pictures for sure. I have to go run around or something.

Ahoy there! We, the crew of LokiSpes, are happy to present to YOU......I'm not sure where that was going. But LOOK! Below is Jared and Katie, our wonderful new jugglinghoopingjammingpaintinglovingfriends! And Rosie, the dawg (philly REPRESENTIN!) of my dreams. Our next adventure begins TODAY! We are going to Jared's up and coming farm. 67 acres of possibilities! And we are going to be a part of its beginning.</div>

BUT WAIT! To recap:<br />
<br />
This week I spent bestowing the <i>Way of the Rabbit</i> upon Jeffy, and together, hand in hand, paw in paw, we made 3 trellises! Yaaaay!<br />
