is the best way to be.
When I’m by myself it’s
the best way to be."

The Life of the Hermit (a little song)

forestofghosts:

To be sung under the breath at times of alienation:

The life of the hermit is the life for me,

Living in a cottage in the middle of the trees,

Never saying anything, never doing anything,

Reading all my books until the sun goes down.
