The psychology of simplest living, via my stories of many years truly simplest living. Real ones - not earnest or pious.
Ten years a landloper. Time to tell those tales, too.

Although in fact three or four years THE lament...summed it all up: Choosing thirty years ago to permanently be aside, in the wilds and moving away from the cities, suburbs, and everywhere populated (which was everywhere East of Craswall, Herefs, then...), THE "community", to appease, even if very few of them - 10% population density of The SW for example, was the local farmers. And THE one thing above all that was red rag to a bully farmer (due rural loneliness, most become, eventually, especially in middle age, - most of the women need to be 50km from Harvey's Nicks).., was gates left open.
And never wishing to upset anyone, as it wastes time and energy, and keep the 'vibrations' nice, making sure their gates were ALWAYS - that is always...closed, behind one, was simple fact of rural places number one.
But what happened? .. well it seemed to 'change' about 7 or 8 years ago..i remember exactly when: The 6 km between methen and the local evil empire of Coop who still overplasticate and starve due rural extremism in their prices (set to incomer pension pots of gold) ... had a 2 km track section, within which there were three important gates. To be ALWAYS closed.
Until... i guess, among other things when the earthmothers (mainly emigrees from the suburbs of the South even if they lie and pretend roots in the 'soil') no longer teach their kids the actual 'country code' rather focusing on the 'vibrations' in their playbook faerytails.. ...
Well, there's deeds and there's actions..
And as of 5 or 6 years ago the farmers owning the land that track went up - me often on my old bike, happily philosophising, and enjoying BEing in the nature...
Nope....all ruined, as any encounter with a farmer became an unpleasant angst ridden venting of his spleen...
Never mind that catch left open morning - one of many... at dawn hearing the sheep bleeting in the yard outside...
Her sheep.. my one fairly enjoyed rural friend, left...
The problem is, there is no telling even a good old wise one: " i can assure you raised on the land, it certainly wasnt me.. and sadly there is this gradual incoming of mainly unparented yoof who just cannot now manage that oldest code of the land... and a fair few of their parents too... lost in their phones, or angst or drug hazed... sorry... lets try and get them back on your land.."
BUt at that point, there was no point any more... as of course these ex city types think that they can "manifest" a real rural respect for the landowners land.. just by smiling like Buddha or by the right kind of hot yoga label on their bag or bumper...
One day that needs turning into an actual real Fable inside a parable...
It is rather unhappy though. As it is real..
Meanwhile back to actual 'rapture', joy, blissy reality:
A whole book could be written on speaking almost only with European walkers for three months - and the bulk are made up of (quite slim) Germans. ...
But my best by far lasterweekendbefore last ... Two teachers....
"thank you for such wonderful real open speakings... and you read real books, still - not some trendy opportunistic, 'indigenously' harping back to when in fact ....it was mainly backwards.. all this lot here go on aboput nonsense 'wisdom keeper's
. when in fact kids need loads of real real people parenting, based on NOW... but you two, there is hope in the world i guess..."
" so ehh... i know you get it... what is 'absurdist' in Krauten...?"
" but wow... how absolutely fascinating and a beautiful symbol of how hard it is....requiring PAblo Nerudas 'mamouth' hour speaking, before a conversation begins;;; to have any actual consistently reliable understanding between even people with the same viewpoints but some differences in their region ... i was thinking of words to share with you... foundations we can start with.... looking for simple key words we can use...but you DONT aqctually say 'KAfkaesque' in Germany ... hahh thats the perfect beautiful almost poetical proof of how hard it is to TRULY be one humanity..."
" you dont need ...healing.... they all seem to be obsessed with; they have for some years here had snake oil jamborees to perform ...something...to one another..
. all i know it doesnt work...someone needs to do a REAL study on this tsunami that has overtaken this land...i shall assay you on this soon"
And you are as cheeky as me as we are on the same page, as we knew first sentence...between us.
" anyway yes our environment...sorry to say it is just about massive overconsumption of especially synthetics and all the extra housing and building hasnt been factored in so as to improve the drains... but the REAl problem also is the environmentalISTS and then the whole range of opportunists who have also perverted the message that was really very simple... i mean even stupid environmentalISTS always seem to think THEY are exempt from the splendid mantras of even 50 years ago, use less... never mind as we all knew then too, as you still do, makeup is objectifying ... always...
Never mind the increase in bathroom products, especially necessary to clean off this muck... is so massively exponential.."
