I'd rather be sent to live in a community of old folkies than in a old folks community.

PeterT's thought for today, prompted me to post this which I've been thinking about.

The Northeast Women's Musical Retreat had an endowment, money left to them in the will of a wealthy member. That money was to be used to purchase land for a permanent site for the festival. I don't know if they ever did or not becasue I lost contact.

The other night I was thinking about how much I would like to live in a community of like minded people, with some differences, but some commonalities which would make it possible for us all to live on a big piece of land, yet separately. I've a few friends who've talked about this over the years, bt we've never done anything about it. I was also thinking about getting older and who I really would want to be around to stave off the loneliness which can come with such phases.

I decided it would be great if there could be a communal piece of land somewhere where older Mudcatters, or those who are retired or want a retreat, could go to, build their own home and live, with perhaps a large "messhall" for meals and concerts.

I know it is a pipedream right now, and I know we do really well as a cyber community. I also know there would be those who would never want to leave where they are or who could not, but I am wondering if it might be possible for those who can and would want to. Isn't this the stuff that dreams are made of? If we build it would *they* come?*G*

What do you think?
