―And <strong>the</strong> truth is that as a<br />

man‘s real power grows and<br />

his knowledge widens, ever<br />

<strong>the</strong> way he can follow grows<br />

narrower; until at last he<br />

chooses nothing, but does<br />

only and wholly what he must<br />

do.‖ ~ Ursula K. LeGuin<br />

This is an actual farmer‘s house literally ―in <strong>the</strong> middle of nowhere‖ (or on <strong>the</strong><br />

outskirts of everywhere, depending upon your chosen perception) … Even by American<br />

standards, this location is extremely isolated, and gives <strong>the</strong> term ―self-sufficiency‖ a<br />

whole new level of meaning.<br />

―The desire to go home that is a desire to be whole, to know where you are, to<br />

be <strong>the</strong> point of intersection of all <strong>the</strong> lines drawn through all <strong>the</strong> stars, to be <strong>the</strong><br />

constellation-maker and <strong>the</strong> center of <strong>the</strong> world, that center called Love.‖<br />

~ Rebecca Solnit<br />
