just as a counterpoint, I live in the forest and it would take a very, very serious problem for me to even consider moving to a small town. nonetheless a city.
we lived in a bunch of different countries and a bunch of different cities over the last 15 years and I intended to never live in another city again.
having the forest friends follow me around as I do morning chores is how life was meant to be. if I could just find a way to stretch that into my whole day I'd be the happiest man on Earth.
Thank you for taking the time to type up both of these.
