My ideal place to live. Far away from modern civilization, at the edge of a wild forest or mountains. Now I wouldn’t want to be too far away from the city, maybe an hour and a half at the most, because I’ll still be needing to make trips to the city to pick up the things I would need. Maybe if I was born and raised in a place that’s far away from civilization, a remote country environment, then I wouldn’t rely so much on modern conveniences, specific food items, products, and such, but I do. I’m sure over time I can learn to live without most of these things, but this transition would be gradual. In any case, why make your life super uncomfortable if it’s not really necessary.
I do plan to move away to the country in the future, and I would not want to live more than 1, 1/2 hours away from civilization, because I know I will not be living a fully self-sufficient life-style. My life won’t even be halfway self-sufficient when I make the move to the country. For instance, I love baking, because I love homemade baked goods, like pies, pastries, cookies, fresh breads, etc… Although I could probably grow some vegetables and fruits, depending on the climate where I will be moving, I will not be growing the wheat to make my flour to use for baking. This I will need to take trip to the city for. This, and many more things

De Witte Wieven / The white women.
Where the mist moves,
and your mind gets confused,
do they dance,
or do they spin,
threads of life
or threads of death?
Do they haunt
or bright the sun?
Who will know?
Who will say?
The White Women
of the Saxonland….

This small statue, only 12.4 centimetres or less than 5 inch, looks like modern art. But it is not modern art....it is actually 6500 years old. In 1968 the 'Mannetje van Willemstad' (English= little man of Willemstad) was found near the town of Willemstad in the North Brabant province. Those Stone Age folks were artists😎! But what was the purpose of this oakwood statue? Thats a mystery only the mesolithic folks knew😕. I hope to see the 'Mannetje van Willemstad' soon in the Museum of Antiquaties in the city of Leiden where it is on display. (picture from Wikipedia: NearEMPTiness - Eigen werk)

The figure of Mother Goose, is an interesting one. She appears as an imaginary author of French Fairy Tales & English Nursery Rhymes. She appears as a women in a witches hat riding atop a goose. She has her origins in far older folklore perhaps as far back as Frau Herre riding a goose in Gaulish art or figures such as Berthe Pedauque "Swan-Footed Queen" who was absorbed by Christian artists, she was a swan or goose footed goddess who spun tales and flax in French folklore. Mother Goose even appears in old Pantomimes alongside another figure with folkloric deity origins, Harlequin.-TLK
