All that is required of you is a willingness to trudge. You have no engagements, commitments, obligations, or duties no special ambitions and only the smallest, least complicated of wants you exist in a tranquil tedium, serenely beyond the reach of exasperation, “far removed from the seats of strife,” as the early explorer and botanist William Bartram put it.
