BAMBOO HOUSE

Bamboo House

Philippines

In this blog, I am looking at a bamboo house I am making in the Philippines through the help of some workers there to serve as house for my pilot projects. They are cheap and easy to make, 

I am forgiving myself here for my desire for concrete houses over bamboo houses and commits to correct myself.

Forgiving Myself

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to desire concrete houses over bamboo houses within the belief that people who are rich live in concrete houses and people who are poor live in bamboo houses.

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to fear bamboo houses because if a typhoon comes, it may fall apart

When and as i see myself desiring concrete houses, i stop - i breathe. I realize that the belief underlying this desire is based on what i see & hear in the videos and movies i watch - which are usually made for profit

Rather than see that the materials being used to build houses are all coming from the earth - equal and one

I commit myself to see bamboo houses as what they are
