Better Dig 2blog post #31 by Science Fiction Author Clara Bush
A blog that is a little science, a little fiction, a little about writing, and a lot of real.
And So I Stand Up To Live
It’s summer in Colorado—wildflowers, hummingbirds, cool breezes—and RVs infest. It’s hard to know which proliferates more amply: wildflowers or RVs.
Thoreau’s unquestionable wisdom yells at me all night and into the early morning hours and all during blogging and writing times.
His unmatchable advice to simplify is muted by the clamor of smart phones, satellite TV, iPads, iPods, iMax, laptops, and eCommerce.
Enter the itty, biddy trailer embellished with only the necessities. No pull-outs. No showers. No toilets. A bed on wheels that can be towed anywhere. Just you, me, and a Rocky Mountain high. (I know it’s legal here, but not the high I am referring.)
So off we go in search of Walden Pond. Remembering and honoring Thoreau.
“Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify….
Instead of three meals a day, if it be necessary, eat but one,
instead of a hundred dishes, five;
and reduce other things in proportion.”
—Henry David Thoreau, Walden
I’ll be back with blog post #32 on Monday and more on the Fermi Paradox.
In today’s world, do we possess the ability to simplify?

Is that a teardrop trailer? I’ve even seen pop-up versions so one can stand within. I love the concept: simple, small and streamlined! well, I’d need a car to have one but got rid of that years ago. smartest thing I’ve ever done! One meal a day? been doing that for decades, also a smart thang! HUGs and yes, people DO read your posts. thanks for the dreams, incentive and friendship
Yes, it is a teardrop. We bought it used from two ladies in Santa Fe, NM. In my opinion, the only way to go. If you get a fancy RV, you spend all your time inside it. In a teardrop, you are forced into nature. You are living right there along with the wildlife, birds, trees, and not closed off from it.
From your pixs, I see you do a lot of that.
Thank you for reading, for your friendship, and for your hugs.
