Part of the progressive economy is mutuality ... this is not new, of course ... history and herstory move spirally. .. coming round looking a bit the same, but in contemporary forms ... the good old 60s. .. the dawning of the Age of Aquarius had lots of examples of peace, love and co-operation ... then the spiral turned awhile ... the 80s reminded us of separation, hatred, competition, greed ... easy to get caught up in all that with fear the driver as always ...
The beauty of mutuality in its purest form is its escape from the money system .... dancing with life and open to its desires, what one requires serves the other ... though playing this game demands different rules ... calculating minds are out and trusting hearts are in ...
Which brings us to the Casa del Puente ... a place in the sun which has seen better days ... heirs seeking other ways ... a market place overcrowded with luxury villas, let alone ones in need of serious attention ... and while this situation prevails, the house needs someone to take care of it ... maybe one of the many security firms, though they cost and there is an ancient cat ... who would do that? Maybe a writer, wanting time in the sun? Perfect for a pensioner! The deal is done ...
Friends and family welcome ... 3 double bedrooms and 3 bathrooms too ... crumbling around the edges, but all in working order (the house and the caretaker) ... writing resumed, walking, reading and preparing for visitors ... owners relieved .... what could this place be?
Embracing impermanence is key ... who knows when a buyer will arrive ... a polo player wanting a seasonal pad and a million euros to fund it? If so, good luck ... on with the next ... what's clear is all is for the best ... and the Costa, along with the Casa, is in need of a makeover ...
