Have you heard of this photographer Echo?
Interesting project.

But my son doesn't live like that. He thinks everyone should be able to live 'free'. He's built a treehouse, lives without running water or electricity or anything else, doesn't pay rent or bills. He lives totally without money much of the time. He's self-sufficient, subsists on 'stuff' that's been thrown away by supermarkets in our wasteful, consumerist society, makes use of random junk that he finds discarded. That's his philosophy.
Haha, yes, me too.Of course part of me thought I might see my son...but I didn't.
Maybe he's still searching.My son told me once that he wanted to live in a stable situation with people who were striving ...whether pursuing their art, studying, or somethings else. He didn't care if they were making a living, he wanted them to be engaged. That was a rare moment of lucidity, that I hold on to. I don't even know if he still wants that, or if it was just a passing thing.
It is good to feel these things myself. It helps me take a step closer to not judging.
Amen to that, sister!I'm okay...I'm dealing. We all deal.
