SO much! (Warning: For those of you who make take this defensively, please don't read judgment or such into these thoughts - these are just my quick thoughts that I will chew on for awhile and may alter as I think more - and they pertain to me - not to anyone else).
* The contrast between the ease of the city life (world's things) and the struggle of the wilderness living (God's things).
* The pull of the noise and distraction vs the wilderness experience with God.
* The difference between the haves and the have nots.
* The "modern, advanced" bustling life versus the calm respite of nature.
*The world's desire for more and more and nature's calm of just being.
* The realization that barrenness isn't always a bad thing.
Always on the boundaries, no? That's what is so hard for others to understand about the call. We confound ourselves too.
That calm respite of nature is hardly a safe place. 2 hours later and the sun would search out you faults. The trail is shared use, horses, bikes, and walkers. It calls for as much vigilance as retreat. I come alive on that path but I can't live there.
