‘How simple and frugal a thing is happiness: a glass of wine, a roast chestnut, a wretched little brazier, the sound of the sea...' —Nikos Kazantzakis
Last month, my wife and I camped on Milarrochy Bay on the banks of Loch Lomond. Our pitch was touching the beach. We would wake to catch the sun rise to the sound of a symphony rich in bird song as the world slept. We had fresh brewed coffee and smoked bacon in Greek flatbread warmed on the griddle. And I thought, how simple, happiness can be. The rich can take the high road, but as for me, I will take the low road free from stress, anxiety, or pain.
Give me neither poverty nor riches
Proverbs 30:8
Gökotta: Rising early to savour the stillness of dawn and absorb the beauty of nature.
