How did I arrive here at Duemosegaard?
There’s no route map for a wild life, but I dreamt of this place. In my mind’s eye I imagined not only the gentle curves of the rolling Danish landscape, also the loving arms which would encircle me and lead me home and onwards into this, my best chapter yet, at Duemosegaard (Dove Lake Farm). I knocked at the door of this solid farmhouse, surrounded in organic fields and the hum of bees busy in the lavender bushes on a blistering August afternoon in 2021. Ross Jackson answered my knocking, and after I tripped over the threshold caught me, looked at me with those piercingly blue eyes and we’ve been together ever since.
This is a short film which I’ve made to try, and fail, to explain the winding journey to Ross Jackson’s door. It’s a start and it’s also a little reminder that if you dream of something good, and mean it with all your heart it will come to pass. Thank you to the Global Ecovillage Network for not only providing me with short course in video production, but also in being an answer to my prayers.
