Hey there - I hope it is okay that I am publishing this - I am on a public computer so only have a few minutes of time but I wanted to say hello to everyone and let you know what`s up with me - I am in Berlin and have been kind of stuck here since I got to Germany four weeks ago....I am staying in a squat right now where I am hoping to be able to continue to stay for the winter, but I am at the mercy of the occupants in this and feel somewhat that this is a testing time for me, as far as how well I can communicate with, defend my actions, explain my intentions, and contribute to a community I can only indirectly understand. It is a strange and difficult place to be, not at all the meandering I thought I would be doing right now - I have neglected to travel out of a momentary depression and a strong sense that I need to grow up and start living out the many ideas I have been merely talking about for years....wish me luck and confidence - I find I have less than I might need to survive.... I am hoping to coordinate with some similar organizations here once I learn some German and get my feet back on Earth. Hopefully there will be something from this part of the world on the website by next year or so. Much love and regards and thanks for the most constructive year and a half of my life - Maya
