for over a decade, I rode over 500,000 miles around some of the most beautiful parts of America, on two wheels. camping for weeks in the back country. spending 10's of 1000's of dollars a year, to live like a homeless person.
life is slower now. we're married to the homestead. now we get anxious when we leave once every 3 months, for 5 hours, to go to poker. we may not take another travel vacation for decades.
the meadowlark sings from its post just yards away. ducks splash, chickens chase a grasshopper, a sheep bleats to its flockmates... this is where it's at.
grew up in the suburbs. it took decades of planning and saving, but we got out as soon as we could.
it is difficult to grasp that there are millions of people who CHOOSE to dwell in the city. trapped in a concrete jungle, no concept of space, and no connection to their food or resources. no peace and no privacy.
