It would be fun to live in the Appalachian Mountains away from the big cities. To live up on the forested slopes, where there are bears and wild animals, snakes and all kinds of beautiful wildlife. At night I could lay in my bed and listen to the coyotes howling and the insects singing. I could maybe even lay out on my roof, look at the thousands of stars stretched over the rolling silhouettes of mountains, see the moon so close, and feel the kiss of God upon me. Maybe I could have a small garden to work on, and be a teacher at the local school. A small house, a simple existence. Spend my free days alone with God or in the company of friends and family, reading and writing and working outdoors. Helping out those who need the help. It would be wonderful. My heart breaks for the simple and pristine life in the Appalachian Mountains, and I believe it is a snapshot--even if ever so brief--of our home in Heaven.
