Got into a quick back and forth with my son the other day about what the world might look like in the future, and it left a vision in my head.
Now I dream of pastoral settings, renewable, sustainable technologies, and a continuation of today's reawakened interest in individuals creating art and music.
It begins with a realization that our way of life is facing a serious illness, yet we keep reaching for Band-Aids....
...and the thought that maybe when we want to be surrounded by nature, we really shouldn't have to go anywhere but out our front door.
I want to prop up my furry feet on a sustainably harvested wood stool, munch on popcorn originating from the stalks outside in my garden, and watch a movie on a screen developed from sustainable, cradle to cradle manufacturing, spending a quiet evening with friends in a cheery little solar powered hobbit house. (Well, with a bit higher roofline.)
And I'm in San Francisco.
Yeah, so goofy, I know. But the funny thing is, the crazy thing is, the wonderful magical transcendental thing is..if enough of us wanted this, we'd have it.
Let's stay in touch.

Can we make it affordable too, so I don't have to work so much to enjoy such a lifestyle?
