Too busy to experience simplicity?  No time for serenity and renewal?

You're not the first.  A century and a half ago, civilization threatened one man's simple life.  "I went to the woods," is how Henry Thoreau handled his busyness.

You probably can't stay for two years, but you might nestle yourself in our woods for an hour of Mocha Moment tranquility.

The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
But there is no joy in Mudville - mighty Casey has struck out.
—Earnest Thayer, “Casey at the Bat”
