What's an Extrovert to do..........

I am, a bit, of an "anxious" person.  Like a hummingbird or dragonfly, always flitting from one thing to the next.  If you hang around me for a day, it becomes obvious.

Yet here I am in the holler in East Tennessee.  Even odder, to me, I am a southern California gal, with roots at the ocean and as a hippie in the late 60's and 70's.  What the heck.

After 23 years, I find I have almost a desperate need to get on outta here.  Despite the beauty, despite the plants, despite the wildness and space.

I seem to somehow to be called to a more urban environment.  Where a college exists, where a bookstore and coffee are close by, where family is within 30 minutes.  A closeness I do not seem to feel here.

Example, Halloween just passed.  My herbie friends, 1.5 hours away had lots of celebrations whilst I sat in the cabin with a small fire, honoring this important changing of the wheel moving fully towards Winter.

Would it be different in a city?  Certainly isolation exists in these spaces.  

I have an innate feeling I will find a community, to network with on a daily basis.  Something I need that does not exist here in Cosby.

Oh, indeed I have a very close group of friends.  The girls and I just gathered for our bi-annual camp-out, that has morphed into an AirBB.  We have a great time.  That is twice a year.  Sometimes I do not see a couple of these gals, except at those times.  And I love them.......we/they have "lives."

Most are partnered.  Or have businesses.  Or jobs.  Or live an hour away.  Everything is about 30 minutes, or more, away.

One very large and looming concern - "who will tend this land."  It is of supreme importance to find the right folks to come caretake these beautiful MedicineWoods.  Is it you???

Alas, what's a woman to do?    Suggestions???

Until next time, Cynthia @MedicineWoods
