Recognizing our and others' desires...

...reconciling is another thing; - the next thing perhaps.

First,
1. I want to live close (Within walking/cooking/shoulder brushing-distance) to as many of my loved friends as possible.
2. I want to live in beautiful surroundings (buildings, gardens, well loved and cared for). Likely to be built or improved upon by friends/community.
3. I want to live in a community that embellishes the present with its admiration and tending of the coming seasons/generations.

Second,
A. I imagine to live in an agricultural/rural setting, but still filled with people and a love of verbal/musical/ et al. culture.
B. I want to survive financially and provide for my family and friends, and hope to be involved with food production as much as possible.
C. I want to be in an inclusive community that welcomes positive visitors/contributors and promotes collaboration with other communities (of all sorts) as much as is sustainable (physically/ emotionally, etc).
D. I want to encourage alternative economic and political structures and work towards removing debt/interest-based economy from my and others' lives as much as possible (Seen as mechanisms of imperialism- See history of IMF in world economy, financial US meltdown 2008, share-cropping economics in US history etc).
E. I want to live in a community that has a longterm view of history that is not totally anthrocentric, but also has a deep desire to survive.



What else ? !
