found a winter home

alright well, with some help from the stubbert clan, we found a place to live for the winter

backstory: we had a place lined up for this adorable little property, in this epic location, but it fell through a few weeks/month ago. we hadn’t had any leads since & were starting to feel it

RV life is amazing

there’s nothing like it

but the current reality of our RV

+ cold wet autumn weather

+ late farm season burnout

= exhaustion

we have one more market to go & then we’re moving into our winter rental for 5 months.. gonna sleep for 2 of them

we’ve only seen the outside of this house so far + pictures, but overall impression is:

yes - adorable - beautiful location

it’s right on the beach

daydreaming of cooking yummy meals

reading by the fireplace

looking out at the lake

sleeeeeeping

-

okay so here’s a fun little story for you

yesterday at market, Leslie reads my energy & is like “you gotta get off the hamster wheel, you’re over-thinking & projecting a frantic frequency. you need to just sit down.”

i’m like yes i feel this so much

so last night at sara & jordan’s, i literally just sat myself down at the table

leslie’s words repeating:

sit down

get off the hamster wheel

let the energy go where it wants to go

mom’s words repeating:

just let go

sure enough

right on queue

a home materializes

effortlessly

it’s almost comical, really

details details details

going to see the place in a couple days & will move in Nov. 1

too easy mate

body is exhausted, but relaxed knowing we have a warm dry space to call home for the winter

thank you Leslie

for the teachings

for sharing your practice & patience with me

so helpful

this life is a wild one

in many senses of the word

it’s fun not planning too far ahead

allowing life’s flow to move you

it’s also tiresome

not knowing where you’re going to be living next, with an ever-approaching end date to your current living situation

it teaches me to release control

i had someone tell me in a dream the other night “focus on what you can control”

and this whole thing feels a little hamster-wheel-ish, yeah?

like even as i was writing that stuff^ “release control” etc.. it’s like i’ve already been here man, i don’t need to keep coming back

that’s kinda mental

get on with it

you got one life to live

and it’s ever-changing

always new

always now

sometimes this constant change & impermanence can feel too fast-paced.. but that seems to be only when the mind is too involved

the trees don’t bud, bloom & drop in one day

it’s a seasonal process

it takes time

day by day, time moves slow

a constant slow

little bit of progress each day

just doing your best each time

staying honest

and slowly

surely

evolution reveals itself

each generation helping the next to come

leaving this place cleaner than when we got here

planting seeds not for our own

but for our own to come

further & further down the line

a timeless trajectory

i don’t know where i’m headed

and i don’t know when

all i know is this feels good

and that’s enough

🍂

just some personal notes here

to bring it back in haha

both jakoby & i have been feeling a pull to focus on our art

whatever form it takes

because it takes many

i’ve been connecting with spirit through colour lately

jakoby has his own path to carve

we meet somewhere in between

a mixture of colours

the palette is ever-changing

from bright summer yellows & blues

to more somber hues

maroon, orange, navy

may autumn’s sultry spell slay me

Inquiry:

do you feel a seasonal shift?
