I am actually very lucky, as I own a horse farm and live in the country. If I count the number of houses in a 600 acre area I think there is about 15 in total, and the horses and cattle outnumber the humans "greatly".

My zen is actually reading and listening to music. So if I had a newspaper and my kindle/kobo, and music I would be in great shape.

But I do get your point 110%. That finding one's self by unfinding and rooted in a pagan way to a loving and nurturing soul would be downright amazing.
