I agree, Susannah! Searching for new paths because the well-trodden lead to destruction ultimately. My experience is pretty eye-opening and I am grateful for a month of down-to-earth work that pays bills and brings food to the table.
I am planning on doing this kind of job once a year for a couple of weeks. I am priviledged not having to do it on a regular basis, but the lessons I take home are invaluable. It makes me less indifferent towards the world around me.
Thank you for coming by and leaving your thoughts with me. Much appreciated. Warm hug from New Zealand.
