fOuNd mY nEsT iN tHe wOoDs


I finally found a place to make my nest in the land ... It was a bit of an accident, when one morning I went to have my time alone with God next to the pond and it was really windy... the kind of wind that  gets in your nerves and makes you tired of it...
I went to find refuge in the woods and while I was worshiping and praying with my guitar I looked around and thought that could be a nice place to make a house for me...
Wow, I got so excited... It looked perfect for me... when I had my retreat in the mountains after new year I was reminded how little I need to be satisfied...I just found a small cave where I stayed for 3 days in my sleeping bag and everything seemed so beautiful... fire at the door, waterfalls just down the valley...perfect !!! what else does one needs...

I started to look around on the place I was praying and I started to picture the place... the cool thing about it, is that I didn't need to transport much of the building material either, besides the pallettes my cousin brought me from the factory to make the floor... All the structure is out of one living tree and other trees around...all Mimosas, which need to be cut anyway because they are too many in the woods... I have also a pine in front of it, a little coark oak, a big normal oak, other Mimosas and one eucalyptus (I'm glad none of these species are a problem - monoculture- in this area)...

It´s a good neigbourhood, very chilled, quiet, not to mention the pond right next to it with all the tranquility that it brings...
I'm really happy and excited about it... I've been working just a bit everyday, when it's not raining, because there's much work now in the land in general...
But that will be another post...
