The Last Bite remains intact


Most of the meal has been devoured and enjoyed, yet a small piece still remains in the center of the table, awaiting a hungry hand. Here in the USA, we are left with the last bites of clean water and buried petroleum.

We travellers are the last bite of the Made With Love Cafe volunteers searching for a home after leaving Hurricane Katrina's disaster zone. Here is the story of our search for land and community.

Mission statement:

The community to be formed will bring together a diverse group of dedicated individuals who are searching for healthy, socially conscious, and environmental alternatives to our current unhealthy and fragmented social structure. We shall strive to draw people together who wish to pool financial and material resources, skills, sweat, and visions in an effort to create an intentionally formed community composed of a tight circle of family and friends. Stewardship of the land and sustainable development of the community’s property shall be a goal at the forefront of all community visions and decisions. Children shall be one key element in the community goals with a strong emphasis on creating a caring and safe “village” setting for community members to raise children in. The community will also strive to outreach to local youth to help educate and inspire all young people in the surrounding area. This focus on youth may culminate in the creation of a home school center or seasonal education programs. In addition to environmental sustainability, this community will also attempt to be financially self-sustainable through the formation of a solid foundation for socially conscious small businesses related to healing, education, sustainable living, and sustainable agriculture.
We are looking all across the U.S. for the place to put our roots down right now. We would love to hear from anyone who knows of specific land out there that is crying to be protected and that could nourish our community in return. Currently we are seaching in the North West U.S.

The Last Bite,

Love your blog, don't hold back, let the stories and the writing flow endlessly if neccessary.

I can get with that mission statement, can't wait until you find the land, create the home, the village, the peace. I may be in hologram form for a bit but it-I will materialize eventually.

I was was most drawn to, "roots, arial roots, tuff roots, and whispering embers"

Seed seekers was by far my least favorite.

Much love to all of you, and your voyage, I'll see you on the other side.

love,
Corey D
Let me know if you need the N.Cal contacts again.
