I want to live life away from the 'civilized world'. I want to go to a hut, in a small community and in a beautiful place. I would wake up early morning , feeling the scent of flowers in the air. I would open the window to look at the beautiful view outside. I will have my morning cup of tea or coffee by the window, either just looking at the beautiful view or writing on my current book. Then I would close the book and clean around the house, listening to some interesting and informative podcasts from the ones I follow. I would then speak to the loved ones in my life, because I don't want to lose touch with them and I know that the natural flow of things is to forget people or lose contact with them. Among these, there are so many of them who are bring no noise with this contact which becomes overwhelming for me to bear. An example of this is my father, talking to him at any point in life or from whatever distance, doesn't create any sense of inadequacy or stress in me. I just talk to him for the sake of talking to him. I know it's the easy part. There are many conversations even with your loved ones, that you have to learn to navigate. And that employs skill, and those are not free-flow conversations anymore. It takes a significant amount of energy to have these conversations and they may feel like a chore. But they have to be had too. Maybe with love, endurance, and acceptance and insight for each other's thought processes, one is able to create a no-noise zone with them.

  The nature of such a life, where I am surrounded by nature, where I can be in contact with the most original elements of my environment , in that they were here way long before me and will exist so many years later. I cannot imagine a busy life for myself for the entirety of my life.

 This sounds like a life of leisure and indeed it must be, for creativity to flow. But I also want it to be laced with purpose.
