excellent book on the stresses of living the lifestyle, take a look, it might

I feel like I will probably follow this pattern as it is my dream to live
without boundaries between work/art/nature/family/love/culture and find a
partner/lover to share the experience with though I hope for a happier
outcome...perhaps I will have to be happy with a short-term experiment, have
a few good years on the land, embracing the potential for impermanence in
both relationships and a dialed-into-nature lifestyle...at least there'd be
a few good years of living totally in the present moment. As a city person,
I know I'm bound to make some serious errors. That does not deter me but
rather interests me all the more.
Does anyone have any happily ever-after endings to share of city people who
managed to get themselves back to the garden...and stay? It'd be great to
hear a positive anecdote or experienced suggestions for "doing it right".
best,
Steve
