RE: Hermits Through the Ages, Part 1, Contributed by Anonymous
Absolutely beautiful post! For someone who hasn't spent a significant amount of time unplugged, the insight is amazing-- and accurate. My husband and I spent the better part of a year in the Ozark Mountains, we 'dropped out' for that period, and I know for a fact it's not possible to have the same revelations, to be as spiritual in the hustle of the real world after living that experience. I also feel that if we had stayed, any impact we might have had on people, the world, from that journey would have been minimal, possibly inconsequential.
I recommend everyone take six months off, spend most of their time in nature, once in their life- but then return. At some point I plan to do it again :)
That's a great suggestion! It's easier said than done, given peoples' work and family commitments, but it's worth keeping in mind.
