Why A Solitary Cabin?
I use internal metaphors to develop strategies on how to approach plans and accomplish things. One metaphor I’ve long used is the solitary cabin. The image of a solitary cabin comes from my long-term vision of how I want to interact with the world, especially in terms of social connections and, over the last decade, the internet.
I’ve often said I’d like to have a solitary cabin out in the woods—a place where I live, cook, read, and think in peace. Then, occasionally, I’d travel into town to get news, meet up with people, pick up some new books, and generally reconnect with the wider world. Afterward, I return to the solitude to reflect, create, and recharge. Why A Solitary Cabin?
