Commentary: When I came to this country, I had a dream that I would become part of an interesting community that would buy a piece of land, build houses, grow our own food and work on projects together.  Then I was introduced to a couple in Westville that was working to create exactly this kind of community.  It was fate that we should meet.  If I look back, it was all unplanned, but from Day One it seems like I just stumbled upon the right people in the right situation. And I wouldn’t be here today without them. In this country, you’re not knocking on closed doors.  Somehow you always receive a welcome and help.
