We built this rocket stove out of some scrap bricks -- based off of a model called the "16 brick" rocket stove. We can cook a meal, brew some coffee/tea or make a micro fire for heat with a handful of sticks. Once it's up to heat it really burns like a rocket as the air rushes through and the gases combust at very high temperature. Carbon sequestering meal preparation...
We're working on a more permanent design that incorporates a rainwater fed sink, chopping/meal prep station and a nice fuel wood storage area to boot.
Every time I meet wonderful people (that make me feel like home) I think it cannot get any better.
I know I must be here, now, enjoy, love, laugh, cry, open my heart and give everything I have. This moment will be gone soon and it’s not going to come back ever again. Never, nunca, jamás. And then… I meet more people I connect with! We do stuff together, we talk, we love, we share and… we say goodbye.
The kaleidoscope of synchronicities, colors, feelings, people and light constantly amazes me with its complexity and beauty. I give thanks every hour every single day. I give thanks for the blessing of contact with the Earth, with myself and people conscious of their motivations.
The energy of the group creating something together with pure intentions is addictive. The expansion of human potential cooperating in the name of higher values, celebrating life, regenerating what has been devastated or neglected, inviting peace and abundance is the best thing I've participated in so far.
Healing barren Earth, we heal ourselves. Cooperating with Nature, we learn how to cooperate with other human beings. Creating water retention landscapes, we invite Life. Taking care of our surrounding we take care of ourselves, our neighbors down the street and the neighbors on the other side of the Planet.
On this blue sphere dashing through the space we are all neighbors.
With love.
