"He seeks distance to change his perspective

In freedom and seclusion, he arranges his thoughts

Strength and power he regains in nature's shielding bosom

In vivid silence and familiar remoteness he can listen to his heart

Yet he experienced that from no wayfare you return the same

He knows that nothing will change until you change yourself

And therefore, every revolutionary is a wanderer."

 

In summation, during confusing and troubled times we occasionally need to retreat from all the madness that surrounds us in order to gain a new perspective. The energy and focus that can be found from this retreat can be used to spark a change within ourselves, lending to a refreshed and strengthened mindset. When one chooses simplicity over complexity, a new road appears, one that leads to a frame of mind which shows you just how over indulged we can make this journey through life.
