I like it when Jung grabbed the scrab beetle that came in the window.

At times I feel as if I am spread out over the landscape and inside
things, and am myself living in every tree, in the plashing of the
waves, in the clouds and the animals that come and go, in the procession
of the seasons. There is nothing in the Tower that has not grown into
its own form over the decades, nothing with which I am not linked. Here
everything has its history, and mine; here is space for the space-less
kingdom of the world's and the psyche's hinterland.

I have done without electricity, and tend the fireplace and stove
myself. Evenings, I light the old lamps. There is no running water, and
I pump the water from the well. I chop the wood and cook the food. These
simple acts make man simple; and how difficult it is to be simple!

In Bollingen, silence surrounds me almost audibly, and I live "in modest
harmony with nature." Thoughts rise to the surface which reach back into
the centuries, and accordingly anticipate a remote future. Here the
torment of creation is lessened; creativity and play are close together.
