ReplyDeleteWould you spend a quiet afternoon here reading or writing? Reading.
Have you read the book Walden, by Henry David Thoreau? No, should I?
Do you live a simple life? I think so.

Far from the strangest place you have spent the night

You live a wonderful life, with the saint, and cats, and that view!
Delete1. Visit, yes. Live, no.
ReplyDelete2. Sure.
3. I actually have not. Shame on me.
4. To look at the surroundings, no. In actuality of what we do and use, yes.
5. Sure. We hike all the time with Shep. No reason not to have a destination .
In it is in the shadow of a million sq. ft. office building filled with Pentagon contractors.
Delete1. Only if connected to electricity, fibre optic cable, water supply and sewerage.
ReplyDelete2. If typing on a keyboard is writing, then yes. I read in very short moments.
3. No. Another Thoreau!
4. I suppose we do, but with many unsimple things around us to use.
5. Ten minutes of walking is enough for me. No thanks. I wonder why people who have a nice and comfortable home would want to stay in a cabin in the woods.
If it does not have indoor plumbing, I am not staying there.
Delete1: Would you live in this cabin in the woods? No. But I wouldn't mind staying there for a few days in summertime. Are there bears there?
ReplyDelete2: Would you spend a quiet afternoon here reading or writing? Yes. That would be nice with no noise or interruption.
3: Have you read the book Walden, by Henry David Thoreau? No I haven't.
4: Do you live a simple life? Pretty simple I would say but in the modern world that is far from easy.

It is a quiet isolated area, surrounded by offices and homes, no bears nearby.

ReplyDelete2: Would you spend a quiet afternoon here reading or writing? Yes I would.
3: Have you read the book Walden, by Henry David Thoreau? No I haven't; it should be on my list.

5: Would you hike 30 minutes to get to this cabin? I think I would.
For a long time I thought I lived a simple life, in a modern cluttered sort of way.
Delete1. Live there? No.
ReplyDelete2. An afternoon reading or writing? Maybe.
3. Read "Walden"? Yes.
4. Live a simple life? Simple enough. Simple life certainly compared to the rich and famous.
5. 30 minute hike to it? No. Would be physically difficult for me.
The rich often burden themselves with staff, multiple homes, expensive cars, planes, boats. A lot of work to manage.

Walden was required reading in High School and I have reread it several times.
Delete1. No
ReplyDelete2. Reading
3. Probably, as I was an English major but I do not remember.
4. I live a cheap life so sort of simple, maybe?
5. I love hiking or walking so yes.
I have come to realize that I live simply, but I am complicated and I have expensive taste.
Delete1. No. Big hairy spiders!
ReplyDelete2. No, Big hairy spiders!
3. No. I only enjoy reading Mark Twain from that era. The Scarlet Letter was required reading in high school. That sucker almost put me off reading altogether! Mark Twain was a lot easier to get into than other literature.
4. I live a simple life compared to rich folks.
5. Nope. Big hairy spiders. My walker would probably prove cumbersome.
Avoid the spiders, that is very clear, and I agree, there would be bugs, and I don't like being bugged.

The right conditions for me, would include central heat and air, indoor plumbing,
DeleteI have often dreamed of a cabin, someplace to go on the weekends just to 'be' and sit and walk and read nothing more. We almost did a few years ago. Now it is not feasible.
ReplyDeleteSometimes we find the peace where we are.
Delete1. No, thank you. I think it would be too spooky at night.
ReplyDelete2. Yes, I would.
3. I have tried several times but couldn't stick with it.
4. Yes, my life has become simpler and simpler.
5. I'm afraid my days of 30 minute hikes live only in the past.
I walk while I can, knowing that it will not be forever
