The moment of chopping wood and carrying water is the moment of happiness. We do not need to wait for these chores to be done to be happy.

☀️┆welcome to my blog!

this is where I share my journey in finding my path and building my faith 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

At the moment I'm still taking my first steps, researching and exploring.

I do believe in some sort of Mother God that created the universe, but I don't think I can call myself a monotheist, as I believe that other Deites exist in some way, just not on Her same level.

BTW, the belief that you have to leave where you are and go somewhere in order to connect with nature is part of the problem. You can literally connect with nature anywhere; yes, even in an urban environment. You have birds, bugs, plants, weather, seasons, etc. A lot of people need to stop thinking of nature as something out there and start recognizing that it's something that's already right here.

This is a page from Urban Homesteading (2011) by Blume and Kaplan, but the concept of bioregionalism is a valuable and necessary practice for more than just environmentalism.
