I'd love to hear more about this cave in Spain. Why are you here? What are you doing there? How long have you been there? How long will you be there? Is it an intentional community? Is it a monastery? How did you find the other people?
It was always the "dream" to move to Spain, and I had an opportunity with friends who, at the time I was managing their online business, as they were selling up and moving to Spain...working online, of course, means location isn't much of an issue. We moved prior to BREXIT....thankfully, and rural Spain was the aim as was the cave home concept, as they have many advantages over conventional homes in an extremely variable climate. More recently, I retired and now only need to focus on the things I want to do, i.e. writing...and that's pretty much it.
Sorry to pester you with questions, so just ignore them once I get too pesky. Was it a natural cave that was modified to be homelike? I bet it's really energy efficient. Were multiple dwellings put in the cave, or one big one? What about water, electricity, and Internet? Do you generate any of your own electricity with solar panels? On the very hottest days, does the temperature stay naturally pretty cool? On he coldest says, naturally warm? What about windows - are there only windows on one side, toward the cave opening? Maybe do a post sometime about your living situation along with pictures!
This: I don’t have a tidy lesson to hand you at the end of this one. I’m suspicious of pieces that do, they usually mean the writer stopped thinking a paragraph too early.“ is what it’s all about. Living long enough to know. And then, still thinking.

So intriguing...
