I’m gratefully and finally moved in to the cabin. With my books and pictures and textiles and feathers the cabin feeling very comfortable.
All my outdoor gear is in the upstairs racks in bins. I built a platform for the bed and will put legs on the platform eventually. This will give me more storage under the bed.
This last push on the cabin has sapped my desire to write. Now I’m ready for another chapter. What does the universe have in store for me. Where will I be called to next. I already have an invitation for tomorrow to help a friend. I saw this as perfect timing.
A candle is burning in the background as there is no electricity here yet. The glow is particularly warming. Eventually I may have a small solar system.
I almost forgot to mention the beautiful wood spider who’s taken residence in the cabin. He’s very large and has white strips on his legs. He tends to stay put but can move quickly when he has to. He’s apx. Two inches in diameter.

Beautiful Jamal, may it be just what you need for as long as you need it!
Congratulations Jamal. May this nest be the place of unfolding.
Congratulations on your beautiful new home!
May new explorations spring from the heart of the forest where you’ve built your home. There is much to be learned from stillness.
Enjoy!

Wow, what beautiful work! Enjoy it!
Hi Jamal,
I am a friend of Ann and Joe’s who sent me the link to the pictures of your beautiful new home. It looks perfect! Except, perhaps, for the lack of power….
I thought you might find this interesting – we have one for backup power in our home. ( http://www.freeplayenergy.com/product/weza ) It is very useful, and can give you incentive to exercise in the winter months! It really beats trundling a marine battery via wheelbarrow to the neighbor’s barn for a daytime charge and trundling it back for an evening’s light, which is how I lighted my studies in a cabin in the woods for the first year and a half I lived in Maine. If you are interested in it, look around for a better price – you’ll find it. I think these can be charged by solar panels, as well as pedal power. Or, you can put it in a wheelbarrow and trundle it off to the neighbors’….
Best wishes for you in all your endeavors,
Susan
Hi Susan, thanks for the tip! I may put solar panels on the cabin when I have some extra cash. I think it’s great that you had a bike generator to charge your batteries with. Jamal
