Subject: Retirement/Retreat Community for M'cats From: katlaughing Date: 26 Oct 99 - 11:24 AM 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? |
