“Then we hiked for a week, and I joined the circle because he was right. It wasn’t reality. Reality is waking up in the morning, making yourself breakfast, making the beds, maybe having to go to work during the day and living a life. Reality is not rolling out of your tent in the morning and having a deer walking by, and you can about reach out and touch it. Or walking through fields of flowers waving in the breeze. Or smelling a pine when you’re walking through a pine forest. And being free of any responsibility.”
