I occasionally think about running away, leaving all this behind. If I just moved to a remote Nordic island a lot of my problems would be solved. Sure, I’d have lots of new ones, but these places have a pull. They are so very many things that life here in Vancouver is not. And they’re beautiful. They pull me and I log for them. They are the type of place I could disappear and get lost for a while.
I think about writing a graphic novel series called Laying Low about people who run away to a remote Nordic island in search of a simpler life and an escape from their problems.
