Tranquility of the Woods

What do you do when everything feels so WRONG? When the world is so complicated and full of choices and every one is the wrong one. When every thought in your mind is a turn in the bend in the maze of your mind and you're so so hopelessly lost. When all you want to do is go somewhere where nothing is so complicated anymore and you don't have to constantly worry, plan, consider the consequences of every action you take.

You go to the woods. Get away from it all and relax. Swim in the lake or pond or stream, sit in the woods with your dog and watch the squirrels and listen to the birds and smell the trees. Read by the fire in the fireplace in your cabin at night. Just...Be. Exist. And not worry about so many things. Work during the day at a place close enough to walk to. Have a car only to keep by in case you want to go to the book store or grocery store or need to go to the doctor's. And work only enough to pay for the books you read and the gas for your car and have a little extra money just in case.

That's the way to live. Without stress or worries or complications in life.
