I suppose that we all have, in our minds, an idea of what the ideal world would be like.
For some, it would be more sharing of goods, communal. For others it may be a higher Earth consciousness. John Lennon posed a few ideas for us to imagine.
Some groups have tried, but in the end always fall short of their utopia. Mormons, Hutterites, Communists, Emmisaries of Divine Light, Nazi's.
I'm just shooting this out there... but did any of them stop to imagine that someone else may imagine their ideal differently?
The bothersome issue that results, in religion and in politics, is the cognitive dissonance, of the believers. The wheel was not invented in the workshop my friends, it was invented in conversation.

A bit about small scale farming, ancient grains, 40 cent philosophy, occasional failure, small victories, raising twin boys, grist mills, maccaroni, jersey cows, simplicty, complexity, rammed earth, flowing water, authenticity, and happiness.
