Tag: so hard to come back

Remember:

No internet, no TV, no radio, no cell phone signal, no landline, a road that is rarely travelled, wood burning stove for heat, and only the sounds of the forest – birds during the day, something a little more subtle at night. The slightly musty smell and huge floorboards from the kind of hard pine that doesn’t grow on this country anymore. Rain. Hardly any contact with any outside people. I brought a computer and a hard drive with movies I meant to see, but I had no desire. Books, yes, but only particular kind. I didn’t want to be anywhere else. I had a notebook where I could write with a pencil.

I had it for four days.
