Yes!

“I do not want change; I want the same old and loved things, the same wild flowers, the same trees and soft ash-green; the turtle-doves, the blackbirds, the coloured yellow-hammer, sing, sing, singing so long as there is light to cast a shadow on the dial, for such is the measure of his song, and I want them in the same place” — Pure poetry!

“I, too, do the same walks time and time again without ever growing tired of them.” — Ditto. Living far from the tropics, the seasons and animal migrations bring as much variety as any sane person could want.

“It also allows you to see the changes that take place over the years, in a way that you obviously cannot do if you flit around all over the place.” — Precisely … and precisely why the criminocracy is so opposed to people having a sense of home/place/belonging, and so encouraging of rootlessness.

“There is nothing scary about scaling down our societies, growing our own food, educating our own children, creating our own cultures, defining our own needs, nurturing our own values, living to the deep and slow rhythms of the Earth that bore us.” — Thoughtcrime 101.

Great piece Paul, there’s a place I go every day, sometimes twice a day, have done for a year since I moved house and it’s still as refreshing to be there today as it was the first time I went.
