Mark Satin's ex-girlfriend, Sherri Schultz , died last month , a couple of weeks before her 60th birthday.
Before her death, she had become one of the Pacific Northwest’s most ardent advocates of “micro-housing” (living in tiny houses and apartments) Satin : "Living small is a frontal attack on the American Dream . It is, in various versions, what many idealistic young people are up to".
Sherri Arkin lived a New Age/living-small lifestyle until her mid-50s.
She was content to work as an independent copyeditor of books from mostly small publishers for the last three decades of her life.
Her real passion in her late 40s , she’s been told, was participating in Seattle 's flash mobs.
After a dispute with management at the Collegian , she left or was evicted and started couch-surfing around town, she ambled off to die.
While it does not exactly celebrate your life, it raises the question your life poses for all Americans who passionately want to save the environment and mitigate human suffering: Is it wise to live without an intimate life partner, without having children, without creature comforts, without a job or profession that taxes you to the utmost of your abilities, and without loving your nation? Is it even sustainable? Mark Satin is the author of Up From Socialism: My 60-Year Search for a Healing New Radical Politics ( Bombardier Books , 2023 )..
