Trying...
There aren't many other places in the United States where a 600 square foot condo would cost you almost $350,000. Most other places will afford you a very nice 4 bedroom home on a pretty big lot, if not more. So, give up the space, luxuries, and material comforts to live humbly and at moderate capacity always and you get nature at its best, ocean waters everywhere, a balance of life and work, and an island life where mostly everyone is honest and kind (because karma's cycle on an island is short). A life where the rat race isn't more important than watching a flower bloom.
I think living on an island was my karma. My name, actually, means Palm Tree in Hebrew. When I learned that at a young age, I was convinced that it was meant to be (a palm tree definitely does not belong in Metro Detroit). What I've really realized in my 5 years on this island though, is that, not only is the cycle of karma short, but so is every other cycle. I've always been a tree hugger, but now, I'm a tree-lover - and I mean LOVE. Love, love, love.
I'm very far from being a perfect tree-lover though. Actually, I think I have a really truly dysfunctional relationship with trees because I still have wood furniture. I still waste paper now and then. But really, I'm referring to the proverbial "tree" as a symbol of the earth. The earth is always on my mind and I constantly think about our *crap* polluting the water, air, and land we need to survive. It's become a somewhat mental obsession - which is why I decided to start this blog. To try and get some of it OUT!
So here it is and I'm recording my efforts in being more and more sustainable - in EVERY part of my life. That is: sustainable environment, sustainable island, sustainable condo, sustainable living, sustainable relationships, and sustainable soul. Wow. It truly overwhelms me, but I can't see any other way to try and live. To try and survive. To try and create and sustain a world for my grandkids, because I want grandkids and that will never come without all of the above. My dream is to have a world for my grandchildren to grow old in. Because they will be much wiser than we ever were and I know that they will know how to care for all that has been given to them.
Ok, without putting any pressure on my possible future children (because I'm not even married at this point), I would be happy to pass on a healthy world for anyone's grandkids.
