Sometimes it is to one’s benefit to leave it all behind.

Leave your “gadgets” (my father’s term for all that requires a charger, namely my “fiddling device,” aka iPhone), leave the comforts of Wifi —

Leave behind the worries, the frivolity, the pettiness.

Leave behind your materialistic concerns and utilize clothing solely for the bare necessity of warmth it provides —

Leave behind your beauty regimen and realize the beauty that surrounds you.

You don’t have to go far to find it.
