i dream of one day having a small cafe/safe place/community center/bakery/brewery/restaurant where i can give back to the community i live in all of the things that the world has given me.  i want to roast the coffee for the morning coffee shop, make fresh croissants, bagels, bake the bread for the sandwiches, use local farmer’s produce, dairy and meat to make cheeses, jams, yogurt, cured meats, work with local farmers to make a new menu for the ripening of each seasonal vegetable, provide a safe place for people of all kinds to come and share and learn with each other, make fresh pasta, offer a space for small group meetings about nutrition/meditation/anything and everything, serve house-brewed beer that compliments the seasonal menu, encourage local farmers to come sell their produce outside of the cafe, and provide a living example of what it means to occupy ALL choices in your life so that you can live freely and healthily.  i dream of spending the next 20 years of my life constantly exploring, wondering, trying/failing/and trying again so that i can hold as much as of the knowledge and experience this world offers as possible.  life is a gift.
