We Were Talking About Yurts & Tipis

The conversation started with tipis and yurts ~ the structures that surface in the fantasy of living close to the land. Having lived in both, I want to say something plainly: they are not romantic to live in. More importantly, the idea that nature is somewhere you have to go to find misses something essential. You have never left it. The question is what kind of relationship you are building with what is already here.
