A one room forrest mountain side stone hermitage accessible only on foot with a wood fireplace, bed, kitchen table, prayer books & Bible, cupboards, kneeler, within a quarter mile of a stream, large iron pot, spit, plate, cup, & bowl, knife, fork & spoon, grill, axe, knives, grind stone, rabbit wire, hoe, spade, some vegetable seeds, and at least 50 miles from another human being. Hammer, anvil, saw, bellows, adze, optional. Matches and paper & a desk might be nice, but...meh. The Desert Fathers had it right you know.
Today isn't the first day I've thought about living in a hermitage. I need to live apart from the world, but that's not practical. Maybe, I can do it at home...if I stop watching the news and using social media etc.... But, is that realistic and/or achievable?

Maybe somebody could check in on me once a month so that friends and family know that I'm okay.
ReplyDeleteI could walk in to civilization periodically to pick up anything I need, if I have any money left.
ReplyDeleteI want a candle!
ReplyDelete50 miles might be a bit excessive. How about 5 miles? Can we do that?
