This line of philosophy from the great Zen master, Lao-Tzu is significant for me because Pine Lake has been part of my own center. It is a part of me and it makes me who I am. Thoreau has Walden, John Muir the Sierra, Edward Abbey the desert of Utah. It was the center of their being, creating a harmony in their life. People ask me on a regular basis why I live at Pine Lake.
All people are different.
I like the solitude one achieves at Pine Lake. I think the lifestyle is terrific. It is one that not many chose because it is not part of their central harmony. I have lived at Pine Lake for four years. If I was not finished, I would stay longer.
