Living Off the Grid

Lot of people want to live off the grid these days.

It's possible to grow food, reduce power, live simply, and a lot more people are doing that. Some people are even getting into alternative energy in their homes, doing the bicycle thing, relying less and less on the commercial grid.

I was thinking that it's not really possible to get totally off the grid. Along the way you end up needing the coin of the realm (currency), medical care, and things that are produced by others.

But I was thinking that it is possible to live mentally and emotionally off the grid. It's possible to learn how to think independently. To disconnect from ideas that are inconsistent with earth values. To be a radical force for service and goodness in a world that sometimes just values doing and taking.

Just a thought.

Could be sort of naive.

But it's a thought.
