Wow that was so profoundly powerful! My partner and I recently moved to “the woods” of NE Minnesota to do as you might have suggested in this piece, and with the intention of eventually sharing our peaceful place, which we’ve come to call Prosoche with others. Well 3 years on and I’m still trying to complete our sauna, just to say it’s an extremely difficult path to walk, and we are living off the grid mostly heating with wood. Not to glorify us, and as you said, it’s not possible for most people to live as this, we’ve been incredibly blessed, with a good education and monies to support our efforts, it is still difficult, and this morning I awoke to thoughts of what am I even doing here? Finding ample ideas to crush my spirit of this. However, I was blessed again this morning as I was able to watch the Funeral Service of President Carter, what an amazing Gift he was and is to this Planet, Hope rings True!
