"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life."
― John Lennon

•I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made: Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee, And live alone in the bee-loud glade. And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight's all a-glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet's wings.
William Butler Yeats

Here are a few passage that helped us while building:
If you are restless today, you may be even more
restless ten years from now, unless you do something about
it now. Life brings increasing cares. So going to your
dream-spot month after month, year in and year out, you
will experience a re-charging, a rehabilitation, a re-creating.
Your Cabin-in-the-Woods should always present enough
challenge to keep you constantly adding to its loveliness. In
this way after each visit you will return to your city life
rested, stronger, revived.
Take full enjoyment in the building. Take time out to rest.
Most city folks seem always to rosh things through. Why?
Lay off until tomorrow. Take an afternoon nap. Stop the
clock for the weekend. Get off to an early start in the cool of
tomorrow morning. You may be crowded in your work in
town, but this should be your rest-cure, your recreating.
Don't spoil it by city-driving standards.
- from Your Cabin in the Woods - Conrad Meinecke
