When Marnie had rented the lighthouse for the summer, she never thought she’d spend her holiday in a cave.
“A lighthouse?” Davie had scoffed. “How is that a retreat from the world?”
He’d dared her to really walk away from civilization. What he hadn’t realized was that she’d 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 didn’t 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, although…)
Feel free to share this story with anyone you think might be interested!
Yeah, starting to sound pretty good, no?
