Off Grid

It would be amazing to live off grid Just think no hustle and bustle No alarm screaming at you to wake naturally at dawn. One would settle into new patterns mainly following the sun hours labouring for one's self, no boss to answer to. building your shelter Getting water to it from higher up from a clean stream loving the taste sunlight from solar panels for night planting and harvesting your own crops No pollutants in them just healthy nutrients fishing for what you need or maybe a crab working the land and cutting timber for wood Nature can provide what you need to be fit Using natural medicines when you need digging down for your outhouse taking a swim in pond with a water fall yes that sounds a good way to live. A dog for company and chickens for eggs Other off girder's but not too close. Like wise a small town half a day away no taxes to pay just wonderful freedom.

That's called a Utopia. A dream world. The earth was as you describe just a few hundred years ago. Humanity wanted an easier live where people could live to be 50 years old, so things changed. I thought my life would be more like your poem describes, but at around 80 you need people to help you are you die. I like the poem and the lovely way of life you describe, my friend. Dream on! Bill

The eloquence with which you expound upon the notion of freedom and tranquility is truly remarkable, dear Shadow. Your portrayal of this enchanting place evokes a sense of awe and curiosity. One cannot help but yearn for the discovery of a similar haven, untainted by the burdens of financial obligations and the cacophony of modern existence.
