What you wrote integrates the voyage & emotions of the picture. Reading these lines, it gives me a feeling of experiencing the storms with you and finally reaching the shore - very romantic. Your words always create a visual image, and I am completely transported into the world you have depicted

Haiku Roll We sail through thunder Your kiss lights the lonely sea Our ship seeks the dawn. An island appears Palm trees lean to greet our sails Your hand rests in mine. Rain slips from the leaves Our courage brought us to shore Love lies down in peace. #haiku #island #Palms #hand #rain #love

"To build a yurt from scratch" To build a yurt from scratch, you’ll make a circular platform, folding lattice walls, a doorframe, roof rafters, a central ring, and weatherproof covers. Use proven plans. Read: willipaul.substack.com/p/to-build-a... #yurt #resilience #remote #housing #permaculture

Mona We should talk about interesting and exciting topics, rather than boring investment topics. Also, building a relationship based on mutual trust, sincerity, understanding, and learning can only benefit our relationship. I've always believed that learning is the lubricant of love or marriage.

“Hope usually has.” At the co-op café, they shared green tea and oatmeal cookies still warm from the oven. Mona told William about her dream of funding projects that kept neighborhoods rooted: gardens, art spaces, repair cafés, affordable homes, shared tools. willipaul.substack.com/p/green-tea-...

Waves lap low against the shore, keeping time with a tender refrain. A storm is brewing, dark at the door, silver thunder stitching the rain. Still, you reach for my trembling hand and the wild wind learns our names. Love conquers us, not as we planned but like the sea conquers flame. #waves #love

The settlers came from Los Angeles, San Franciso and Portland Big city small Village Trading their cars for horses Cell phones for how-to books Yurts and tents for housing Trading supermarkets for gardens Hot showers for cold creek water pavement for soil screens for pitch forks
