i have a saying when i am weary of this life, the city and its human traffic, the pretention and the jostling for position, the power struggles and intimidation...i tell those close to me that i will live out my days in the country in a shack with a dog and a shotgun...okay...maybe not the shotgun...the sentiment being that i need the simplicity of life...a wildflower garden...vegetables growing in my front yard...a place to lay my head and a fire to cook my food...
i think i could turn and live with animals
they are so placid and self contained
not one is dissatisfied not one is demented
with the mania of owning things.
