It is so nice to not have to fight the traffic and noise of city life.
Exactly.
This cyclic nature of hobbies you're talking about is someting that we share then. To me they're like gentle waves that wash over my feet once every few months. I can take a step towards them every time this happens, so the next wave can reach higher up my body and closer to my heart. It's a slow process, but I trust in its recurrence. I'm hoping that some day I will be able to fully lean into one and not care about the modern rush. Wind my mind down and just create something beautiful out in the woods.
You must be an author or writer, your words are eloquent. The woods are one of my favorite places to enjoy quiet.
