About me

Gender Male
Location Champlain Valley, Vermont, United States
Introduction Making the conscious decision to slowly divest myself of what does not make me happy and work toward a truer, deeper self. Leaving the world of work for the purpose of obtaining a paycheck, and instead taking up work for the purpose of living.
What makes me happy? Where is my bliss? It's in hard work that allows me to feed my family and keep them warm. It's a sense of purpose and the ability to use my physical body to achieve spiritual peace. The harvesting of the bounty and the turn of the cycles, and knowing myself to be a part of that mystery.
Over the next several years I plan to build a homestead one skillset at a time and learn to truly care for those I love. You're invited to join me on my journey.
Interests Gardening, bread baking, reading, cooking, moving from overly complex to simple living, building a homestead (though ever so slowly at first!), learning useful skills, breathing.
Favorite Movies Field of Dreams, Star Wars, The Mists of Avalon, Cold Mountain, the Ring Trilogy, Under a Tuscan Sun (enjoyed whilst snuggling with my wife, of course)
Favorite Books Mists of Avalon, Life of Pi, The Dirty Life, Pathways to Bliss, Dies the Fire, Shop Class as Soul Craft
