Reflection from villager Jef Murphy

Stacy and I moved into Columbia Ecovillage about 1 month ago, and the first three weeks have been kinda quiet. Only 3 of our households were able to move in, and it's been pretty quiet most of the time. I have been taking the opportunity to walk around the site daily and enjoy the place, and a thought came to me; I was looking at the young buds beginning to pop out on the trees, the tender young bulbs pushing up from the ground, the bright green returning to the grass sprouting up all over, and was struck with the feeling that this is what our Village is going through right now. Our community is sprouting from the winter of construction and is coming to life. We have tended our roots over this winter and are coming out strong and healthy, new life in this old garden, ready to take on the world and show the bright colors of our flowers, the rich bounty we will all share living in this beautiful place. 

Welcome to all of you moving in, or waiting to move, your home awaits, fertile and eager to grow.
