nature girl
tonight i was watching 'the bridges of madison county' (don't laugh). it's filled with nature.. big nature sounds, the insects at night, especially.
it made me think about my old cabin in the woods. i lived there for three years, back in the early 90's.
imagine if you were very religious. that you loved god with all of your heart, in a deep, instinctual way. that going to church gave you an indescribable satisfaction that you craved when you were away from it.
then imagine that you got to live in church, and be surrounded by god all the time. that god permeated your entire life and made you deeply content.
that's what it was like. it was like living in church. i miss it.

So, um, why did you leave?

- it was expensive
- it was very far away (i put 50k miles on my car in one year)
- being that far away made it very difficult to have any kind of a social life
