Family Living Off the Grid in a Tiny House in New Zealand
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Tom, Sarah, and their daughter Neesa live in a 20sqm off-grid tiny house on a property on the Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand. Instead of paying rent, they share the work of looking after the land with the owners, and both families share in the farm’s abundant produce. We were inspired by how much happier they’ve found themselves by living with less.
Tom is a medical doctor and Sarah is an illustrator but both have chosen to reduce their work to almost nothing in order to have more time to focus on living well - a lifestyle choice that is more possible for many of us than we might think. This little 6-minute film has been one of our most popular to date - perhaps because it describes a lifestyle so many of us would love to be living.

The hardest part is finding a partner who is willing to live like this and enjoy this in the long term and not just the novelty of it.
Find a partner and just explain
and finding a partner who you can live with w/o the point of not being able to stand them being in the same room
@@vIBEDoUT-Channel :-) I tried explaining to my wife but she needs to be around people lol!
@@KoiAquaponics ofcourse, we are social animals... But there aren't many people who know this is the right way of living...so difficult to find friends or neighbour there
You can have pets!
Also show her this video ↓

if this is an essential and crucial to both of you. Start it ourselves! Do not convincing and forcing people to do and live our way. Change ourselves first, do it fir the sake bringing good to your partner out of love. It's hard, there are difficulties thoughts, ideas, dreams..... all need actions. (I am talking all these to myself actually... ha)

"emotionally I am healthier" ... looks to his wife for approval... Melted my heart a little
That was my favorite part🥺
Stress is a silent killer, I feel like in our society we glorify people who are productive and never stop working and running around but we forget that all this pressure puts a toll on our relationships with others and our overall well being. 🙁
Colleen Mary preach preach!! i've said this to people and they look at me like i'm crazy
Colleen Mary : It is sooo true!!
Had it over years and end up with arrithmia. As long as you are happy and in line with Gods way of living... everything's will be okay!
Colleen Mary couldn't agree with you more!!
Colleen Mary Well said
As an introverted pisces who grew up in a house of leos and a virgo, I could not have said it better.
I think you begin to talk softer when you are immersed in nature
Katy, that's true! You don't have to scream over all the technology noises to get your point across 😂.
The baby is happy.
What a beautiful thing to say. I agree.
Or it may be only because you don't want to attract predators...
Because you work hard for what you eat, it is not working hard to earn money to buy food, but literally work hard for the food itself. It makes you more appreciative and humbled of your surroundings, plus the natural green environment is relaxing.
i don't know why, but I'm so happy seeing this little family, he's such a gentle man, even the way he talks is so calming.
they look childlike happy. very peacefull
it's the pot
Yess 😊😍
its not about the tiny space .. they have the whole earth and sky !
Haneen Faysal ,how abt following this

Wait till the city expands on their territory, they won't be owning anything...
So true
this is the kind of lifestyle I've been wanting and dreaming since a child.

I am 18 and seriously its something I am working towards and hope to accomplish, you should too♥

This is actually how we are supposed to live! Kudos fo this beautiful family!
We need to return to this. Is anyone really happy living in modern society? I know I'm not.

Andy Franklin Speak for yourself I love living in the city and have the connivence.
@@Jill.McGlothlin42 we all different.when i eas younger i wanted to live in the city but now i want a tiny house outside city and people
m 74 I actually want both to be honest. I’m a introvert so I can do w/o people. But I would miss the connivence of the city. Sometimes I wish I lived tucked away in the country and then other times I love the city.
@@Jill.McGlothlin42 just make up your mind ,not so young anymore
In case anyone is wondering, the poem he refers to is "Wild Geese" by Mary Oliver:
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
stwgl that's beautiful
Thank you stwgl.
Thank you very much. It's amazingly beautiful~
stwgl that's beautiful
That is beautiful.
i have been thinking about living this way for a long time. I miss human positive interaction which has been replaced by cold technology. Yes technology is great in some ways. But to walk across a lush field to visit your bff and have a cup of her tea with a slice of your homemade pie?...What a nice thing. And to be close to animals and nature. Yes please!
nicely said :))
Lauras Bloody Life, going off grid not too far from the suburbs will keep your "normal" friends kind of close but it'll keep nature around you and you'll have decent Wi-Fi. Don't give up on nature or tech one can have both with finess.

Lauras Bloody Life I crave this
hallelujah !
I just love how she loves and supports him. It's so lovely to watch.
@Margaret Gust Maybe she is happy in that way.
When she announce his wife and baby and touched them, my heart been touched too. 😍
I would love to see an update on this inspiring family
I would love to get to know them, listen to theirs stories, invite them over for brunch and discuss seeds for the season
@Nazbol Jedi ...and I agree with you agreeing with both of us 😂
If you read through the comments under Charlena Garcia there is an update from someone who stayed with this family..They are still living there and have built a slightly bigger home Because they now have twin boys..
@@suehowie152 that’s wonderful, thank you so much 🤗
What a lovely couple with a darling baby. Somewhere along the line, people began to equate and confused quantity (of stuff and space) with quality of life. Slowly but surely, people are coming back and figuring out the difference again, like this precious family. Thanks for posting this profile.
Michigansnowpony very well said 👍
Michigansnowpony Amazing inteligent comment. God bless you!
Michigansnowpony How nice of you to
post such a lovely comment on this family . Thanks, Jenn - Seven Sprouts Farmstead
This comment and the replies gives me hope in people! I've thought this way for a long time, and always felt like I was weird. I wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember and was told not to, as I wouldn't make much money. Unfortunately, I listened and pursued a career in nursing, which has made me miserable. I'm finally going back to college to get my teaching degree and am making a simpler life!
@@alaciacreek4977 But why did a career in nursing make you miserable?🙁 Is it really that bad? I took this road too and I'm in the nursing school now and think I really did not chose well either...
i don't know why but this vibeo made really emotional...
Xanthippi Ioannidou I feel u
Xanthippi Ioannidou Perhaps it's the purity of their lives.
I don't know why you got emotional over this video either.
Because we all want it so intensely
It's the music
This reminds me of how I grew up! Currently renovating the cottage back to life that my parents and I lived in when I was a baby!
I've just watched this video for the 4th time...and I cry everytime.
The honest words and the story from this lovely couple/family really shows that it is possible to chose a way of living that alines with their true core values.
Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring fellow humans all over the planet.
Love & greetings

Sometimes you just get tired, and would prefer to do with less in order to have more... and reduce the stress.
I agree
TheDtfamu89 you get bored of living one way and get inquisitive about how the other way feels or want to live another way. I believe this is just the human mind or human nature...always looking for more, or a reason for something new and different and being inquisitive and unsettled and thinking of different things and change.....this can be both ways some rich people get bored of living with all their materials and want to scale down to cut back cost etc and become more grounded see life in a different perspective etc and some poor people wish to live life with material wealth to see how it is or make them feel, and some people just like their situation as is whether rich living or "poor" simple living .......
Thats why in my opinion people should experiment living with both lifestyles for a while and then decide after which one is mostly them or can mostly relate to. You find sometimes when rich or material wealthy people get old they sometimes scale down to more simple living probably because they realize that they will soon be leaving this earth and all those materials things they had are not really that important anymore ... You find people living in poor situations want to get out of it because of being uneducated, because simple living in those cases mean less money which means less opportunities especially for a rounded education etc which then begets crime and other negativity which creates an unwholesome environment to live in and they want to get out of that but poor EDUCATED (and by educated I mean to correct things of course, cause u can be educated to anything) people may create a different environment to live in similar to how these people are living....
Twinkitten1, there are many people with very little formal education who make an excellent living. Lack of a formal education is not an excuse for crime, a sick, lazy mind is.
TheDtfamu89
Agreed. My job stresses me out greatly sometimes. And it's a lot of pressure on me to keep going and make sure everything is taken care of esp since I'm the one that holds my immediate family together.
Can't do my career on the road so no mini home on wheels for me.
Yet, I know God wants me to do this career. It's just hard.
these people seem so happy
cindybin2001 what?
cindybin2001 and you are better than him after saying this hate words... how?! shame on you
cindybin2001 profanity?! are you kidding me? you acting so angry about these happy people in video. you are offended because of one word? Only angry and unhappy people get offended easily.
What are you talking about?if so much people are saying same things to you ,maybe it's time to ask your self is everyone wrong or could you be wrong about it?Come on,he is just a human! He is just honest guy who lives in real world. You seem like a nice lady, where is your tolerance? You are kind of right,but this reaction over one bad word? Nah chill out,see bigger picture,be bigger than that anger. They are so lovely,and they living their lives without judging anyone.
cindybin2001 OK .you have some serious problems. because of you and people like you this world is terrible place. tattoos,pot smoking...what are you talking about? I hope that you will get well soon.
this is so inspiring. you can clearly tell how genuinely they love each other and how contended they are with life.
Yes having a child a kind wife and guitar with nature. Hell yes.
Heaven Yes ;)
@I AM Starr that's a fact.
you better be a kind husband
He has that because he's a kind, responsible man.
awww
I am in love with them. They just made me feel such peace
After totally
Amazing how the introduction advert prior to this video was about a guy, who is claiming to be rich and how he wants to tell and share his story with everyone, so that they can do the same. I quickly pressed 'skip ad' and was delighted to watch a truly rich and happy couple share a true story!
I am so sick of seeing that guy you're talking about....I press skip so fast when he pops up.
Le Gars not an answer, you're depriving people from well deserved money. i don't mean the advertiser, i mean this channel for example
Thats why they invented patreon...
Oh that guy haha. His face popping up everywhere like crazy. Im in an island somewhere in the philippines and i watched this video, damn his face still shows up
These adverts are what enable the people who produce theses wonderful films to live on and therefore make more films for us to enjoy. I mite them but let them run. I hit the volume on my tablet then tap the mute button. Just touchinf
His wife is really beautiful in a Celtic sort of way
In every way. In fact all 3 of them are beautiful!
Yeah like Monalisa. The man is handsome no doubt.
@you'reDangerouslyLowOnHEADSpace Your rude comment makes you a gigantic one
Have you ever met a Celt?
I was thinking that too. She has an almost ethereal quality about her eh.
omg he has such a therapeutic voice
Yes
Calmness and stress free tone says it all...you can feel it through the voice...
Thanks Sarah and Tom for your sharing. Yes, it takes me quite a long journey back just to realize living in the nature is living real.
Nice to have someone in the simple living community too. God bless.
Simplicity is the key to brilliance

@@renjithdevassy9013 yessss
I recently had a similar realisation, in terms of the whole, 'Most of my money goes to rent/bills."
So I started looking into house sitting as I'm a student in the city and there's actually quite a lot of people who want their pets to be looked after when they're away.
Simplicity, Tranquility and Authenticity. Nice!
A lovely example of how life can be balanced. Thank you
love this! key thing here is the demeanor , attitude and most of all full bodied spirit of these people. That is what works, and where the true joy is.
If everyone does this, we have hope.
Kelberi it is a great thing to do but if everyone does, you might wake up to the world with no doctors, law enforcement nor engineers. humans got this way for a reason, we just learned that it's easier to live when each of us specialises in one thing, instead od everyone doing everything on their own
spo okey So I guess I'm thinking if everyone did it we wouldn't need law enforcement, living like this makes you present, respectful, chill...
doctors would be around, Tom is a part time GP after all. Hopefully he and other doctors will stop doling out pills and teach patients that their food is their medicine and they, not any doctor is accountable for their own health. And people living so intentionally tend to be calmer. There will be part time internet connection workers keeping us pretty well connected to all the world's knowledge, so less stress...
Search for SLOMO on RUclips for another approach to doing what you want to...
lovely film, thanks 🙏🏻
okay how do you imagine getting education? who would regulate that? where would people learn and how would we know they're competent? where would you get buildings from? where would you get clothing from? you'd make it yourself?
what about getting from one place to another? I'm sure you wanna just walk to a place 300km away. cars need to be made by someone you know? not to mention planes or ambulances. speaking of which, health system. it's a complicated thing and believe me, it's not so easy to organise.
do you really wanna live in 19th century again? stop glorifying the past and being so against civilisation
doing what we want doesn't mean doinv this. I wouldn't like to, i like having facilities and access. my boyfriend has lived technology his whole life and wouldn't imagine to leave it either. it's not what everyone wants, not what everyone is made for. so i don't believe it would be good
if people meditated, got time to rethink stuff, came closer to self-awareness - that would give a lot of hope for the world. but not getting back to nothing
Not really - do you know how many people live in china? Or in a big city like New York? Not everyone can live a bourgeois farm life - there simply isn't room for everyone to have an acre or two of yuppie farm land, and if there was there wouldn't be and forests or open spaces not occupied by roads and people. It's a nice dream but cities and population density are actually what's saving the forrests and leaving undeveloped space. It's a great fantasy but if we all lived this way the forrests abd evo systems would be devastated. I know that's hard for yuppie hippies to understand but it's a privlege to have nature around and not realistic to think that we can all have it except if we green cities.
Beautiful all of it...made me cry the simplicity of all. Thanks
Pattern our life after this... Showed me life well lived in simple way and not worry about tomorrow.
Nicely done. Imagine those with property sharing it with families like them!
I really loved this. I’m working toward this with my partner, we’re saving money and we actually already have land which is a miracle. My son is so excited and we have a friend who knows all the rules/regulations in the area because they’ve already done the same thing. It’s exciting, and I’m so happy for this family. He’s absolutely right, it is the blueprint, we need simpler lives and the more “primitive” we go back the happier we are I’ve noticed in other people as well as myself.
Come To my country I'll show you hows its done😌🙂🤔🤔🤗
Aaaaaahmazing natural carefree life!! Dreamy really.... Very fortunate to be surrounded by nature!
After watching this video... I am feeling Soo calm.. these guys are just happy and tension free..
the baby has a happy childhood! around nature and loving dad and mom. Thank you so much
What a beautiful family, and you are living off grid sooo well! You seem so free. God bless xxxx
I love this type of lifestyle so simple and carefree..I would love to live like this in the middle of nowhere where no one annoys you
Wonderful video.....if only all children. had such lovely parents, & a super way of life......money doesn't always bring you happiness.....good luck to them xxx
Amazing!!! Highly appreciate all of your outstanding efforts. Thanks for sharing.
I'd write a book about this family (in Portuguese because I don't know enough English yet). They are really inspiring! Congratulations from Brazil for the production of the vídeo.
You have reached the highest level of quality of life, simple and therefore happier, surrounded by Mother Nature and animals❤🌱
Wonderful. And oh how beautiful they are. I wonder if they know that they look like Disney Characters.
You watch way too much TV. What a superficial way to look at life.
Way to be unnecessarily rude to someone saying something nice
ive been walking to work.. lately.. and instantly feel more connected and grounded with in a truth of who i am in this big world and i its ok.... i am also getting out of debt.. and i spend very little money .. i pick up more trash on the road on my walk to work than i do make in a week and i dont even venture off the sidewalk
thts great. really happy fr you !
These folks are inspiration. Giving up on what most of the society strives for and focusing on what really matters.
Brilliant!!!
Everything about his family and their life is absolutely beautiful. This is my definition of true wealth and happiness! No more, no less.
I'm gonna do this, ONEDAY 🤗
Best of luck with it!
Komal Jha all the best. Live a stress free n happy life..
but where will you find a distant place like this without the stress of running into some thugs or robbers ? i guess you wont probably be able to do this. 🙁
me too.
Komal Jha likewise me too... Let's do it together.
Yum! ...I'll be over for dinner! A beautiful family living a beautiful life!
A tiny house yet the land is so vast and beautiful 🍀💕
I wish this couple had an entire video series. I would watch hundreds of videos that feature this lifestyle. My husband and I would truly love to live this way.
the baby is so adorable
Any further info about this family would be great: would love to follow their journey if they have social media accounts please share
Agree!
would love to know more as well!
rebekahsjs they obviously don't
MYCA depends what you use Internet for
maybe we should start our own journey
we have 2 babies and 4 kids we move off grid in 5 weeks! we are building our own cabin :)
+The Offgrid Aussie Family Good luck with the move!
Thanks guys :)
WOW! you're going to live off grid and built your own cabin. I'm kind of envious. I wish you guys all the best.
+O-I-C-U disolve thanks :) we have alot of work and challenges ahead of us, but it will be worth it.
fabulous!! best of luck guys!
I admire your guys strength to make the change. God speed
Thank you Happen Films
I soooooo love this. This is life!
Wisdom: There are many ways to live, there is no best way everyone have to follow. But how much bliss and joy does your way of life actually give you and those around you from moment to moment? Sometimes that way may be very simple
The most important is peaceful and lovely family 👍 I hope my wife and me one day never ever fill out of the ribbon love even in hard times like you two 🙏
Sweet home.Lovely family.Pleasant environment.Wow!!!!😍😍
lovely film! I'm looking forward to exploring your channel more
I hope you enjoy my other films too :)
refreshing for you too, eh? You should see some comments on another happen Film....I loved the maturity with a nit wit that was there! I just am at that breaking point. Even though I'm in no New York or San Fran...it likely is the pace of what San Fran was 15 years ago...where I am now...and that is TOO JAM packed for this small town gal...so yes, strongly considering off the grid opportunities on a budget.... research is likely key with some amazing imagination. More important than intelligence, or, well...both helpful.
would love to see an update on this family 💓
I like what this lovely couple are doing. I totally get it, we slowly become slaves to the 'stuff' we accumulate. Our purpose in life becomes maintaining and paying to keep our 'stuff'. This couple jus t decided to get off that train and live more meaningfully. More power to them. God speed.x
Man.. What a life what i want is this simply happy life.. God bless your beautiful family😘
Simple life is less stressful, being in touch with nature, your really truly appreciating everything Allah has provided for you ,may Allah, truly protect and Guide you and your family throughout your journey inshalla.
that is a normal life for some people i know here in Philippines. I remember years ago, our summer vacation was spent on remote village in province without electricity, and the food are fresh. Our snacks aren't chips and sodas, but any fruit (straight from the tree) we come across while playing as kids, good times.
Good life. I hope the Phillipines can squash its political problems and the Islamic State traitors
omg their baby sticking her hand in the water! so cute!
I love how she just started breastfeeding in the middle of the interview.
Rheannon F exactly where did she breast feed?
Tatiana Garza 3:47
Near the middle of the clip. I think thats what she was doing..
Whoa, didnt even notice til i saw this comment.
She was Smooth♡
Yes 😂
This very little moment in is called" living"
That's so awesome. I could do that. Less is best. Thanks so very much for sharing this with me 💙🇨🇱
So many people say I wish I could do that
So glad to hear you say I COULD DO THAT! 😃
His voice is so soothing.
I believe with everything going on in this world that living as simply as this could possibly change the world for the better
I believe people will one day split .. the other connect with nature and the other will embrace the machine world.. we were living the same earth but different in how we see.it..
So proud of this family
Beautiful family & beautiful surroundings, love it 🍀💐🍀💐🍀💐
I would literally trade my current life for this
Instead of paying bills, it turns to saving.. !
Thanks for the baby, she's just so cute!
Happy family! 💜❤
Beautiful home with love and peace
Working for rent was what in Europe was called "servidão"(from wich "servant" derived); people lived in shacks and huts in another man's land (generaly, a noble man) and had to work to have the right to live there. The only difference I see here is that this couple may leave if they wish, and the "servos" couldn't leave. Strange how the world gets around and someone in fact prefers to live as a servant, free from the responsabilities of owning something.
Maria Nunes Seems like so much less stress!!
What you describe is called feudalism. The difference here is that these people are not working on the land producing capital for the land owner, they are feeding themselves.
They are free to stay or to go. They work to feed themselves; not to pay for unnecessary items. They create positive profit from low turnover. Pretty good set up for someone suffering from a debilitating illness like social or general anxiety disorder. Extra emotional capital is preserved every month when bills are way less than income. For me the biggest obstacle is family support to transition from living inside of the machine to living freely and more abundantly outside of the machine. I am not sure I want to give them up. I shared this video with them. Let’s see if it nudges farther along my line of thinking-living can be better with less attachment to ‘things’.
Maria Nunes wow so silly you’d compare them to slaves when they live so freely and they’re not caught up in a 9 to 5. They work to feed themselves and they have what they need, they enjoy life and read Mary Oliver poetry and probably other poets as well.
This only thing is called freedom and no amount of billion dollars can replace it. Hence so many mentally ill billionaires...
Yes, simple lifestyle is the way to go, and occupying space that serves your needs, you all look so harmonious, wonderful to witness.. Lovely!! 🙏💚
This a life is full of happiness. Simple and yet satisfying, its stress free kind of living. This is a proof that money is not everything. Love you guys God bless you.
My flat is smaller than their cabin! I’m kind of surprised to hear people talking about “tiny spaces”. I suddenly feel like a battery chicken.
To be fair they are living an affluent lifestyle (in an alternative way) thanks to their potentially lucrative jobs. I think a lot of people would love to buy land and not work in a soulless job 9-5. I hope we get there too.
Wow! I admire this couple who chose a simple life in nature over city life in a huge house! Their baby is lucky to grow up in an environment where parents are in harmony with each other and with nature!
I am sure this couple is much happier than many of us living in cities (a euphemism of concrete jungles). They live in peace with the nature, grow some veggies, have some hens to take care, enjoy the breeze, does not have to worry about mortgages, credit card payments, missing the deadlines at work, or being fired from the job. Their mental health must be much better than many of ours. If only more people took to this way of living!
From the comments in this video, and in every video that promotes an alternative lifestyle, I understand there are a lot of people that feel like their whole world and status quo is being attacked. The society tells us that this kind of people are hypocrites, because they still rely on some things. I say so what? Did they come to criticize your own life? If they are happy, what's the problem? I didn't hear them brag about anything or critisize anyone. They just expressed how this whole change makes them feel. People make choices for themselves and since they don't hurt anybody, I don't get the hate. Plus, this kind of people get lot more criticism than stressed workaholics, who are considered normal for some reason.
Exactly. I think it is also a matter of propaganda against anything alternative
A society can only function if everyone contributes to it. They are leeching on the technology that others invent and keep running, without giving anything back to society
I always comes back to this and it makes me happy.
Thank you it was a great film I so enjoying watching your films keep up the great job your doing blessings 😊🙏🏾❤
I want the baby.

Gavin E yes I can. 😂 been babysitting my whole life

Gavin E yes please

This is what life should be like. I never feel sorry for people who are stressed out of their mind because of their loans, mortgage, huge bills, and just working every moment of their life to make ends meet. It's insane, and they chose to live like that. There's no security when the life you're living is making you sick and miserable.
I would love it if documentary makers could find people who are from working class backgrounds with very little money or the education living like this or is this way of life exclusive to well educated middle class people like this with all the advantages that class brings, these people start with a huge advantage in life as there is a motivation that comes from their upbringing that gives them an advantage of being better educated and having the confidence of it being easier to take the risks to change things that middle class educated background brings.
What about those folks from less educated, less well off backgrounds who are not instilled from a young age with that confidence who want to live this way but have always lived on the knife edge of vulnerability that these types have never experienced just perceived? The commonality to all these types of documentaries is that the people in them all seem to have started life financially and socially several rungs up the ladder, it does come across as slightly smug and typical middle class to be honest
I am really impressed with the thoughtful and insightful nature of your post, and I have often thought about this one as well when I have watched these documentaries.
I am educated and intelligent, and love having my own garden, but having always been a single person, and raised a son on my own, I have never been well enough off to do something like this, even though I would dearly love to.
I was thinking a similar thing, that they had already experienced the other side of the coin, so they could compare when reaching their decision, rather than coming from scraping by.
@Mr. X no need to be snarky. Nobody in their right mind would choose to live in a dictatorship. North Korea is the worst country in the world!
Glad to see someone address this. Privilege seems to be a big taboo topic in the permaculture community. I've spent some time in a permaculture hub in Australia and everyone I met was white, had an academic or arts background and earned enough money to buy land, trees, build infrastructure. Nobody ever addressed the fact that huge amounts of privilege and money got them where they are.
The guy in this video is a GP so surely they have to have some savings as a backup for when the work for rent agreement ends.
This video makes me joyful.
It is a blessing to have the opportunity to live just like that. That's what human was created for, blessings to you guys, such a pretty family, congrats.
IIII LOVE HIS VOICE ITS LIKE LIVING IN PEAAACE
I'd like to live in 100sqm. 1/4 of it is parking and my tiny house, the rest are garden and permaculture. 💖🌿
Wild Geese
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
from Dream Work by Mary Oliver
Thank you
ive sincerely appreciated this short video and thank ya
