When Marnie had rented the lighthouse for the summer, she never thought sheβd spend her holiday in a cave.
βA lighthouse?β Davie had scoffed. βHow is that a retreat from the world?β
Heβd dared her to really walk away from civilization. What he hadnβt realized was that sheβd like it.
I recently listened to the audiobook of to The Stranger in the Woods, the true story of Christopher Knight, a man who walked into the woods at age twenty, and didnβt return to civilization for twenty-seven years. Retreat sprang from my thoughts around the biography. I highly recommend it (the book, not living in the woods, althoughβ¦)
Feel free to share this story with anyone you think might be interested!
Yeah, starting to sound pretty good, no?
