It's always good to question the circumstances of one's current reality and ask, "What would I do if this changed?"

Now, when it comes to asking ourselves, "What would you do if there were no planes?" --- well, I'm an American ex-pat living in Japan since 2003 and from spring of 2020, I basically have been acting as though that is the case because...for a fair amount of time, it WAS! For example, from I believe mid-April 2020 to fall 2020, if I---as a non-Japanese citizen had left Japan, I would not have been let back in. This despite, being a homeowner, having two children, being married to a Japanese woman, being a well-liked employee and teacher.

Now, you might ask: But surely Japanese also couldn't get back in if they left right? Nope! Japanese citizens were free to come and go. So much for stopping the spread! Last I checked viruses don't stop and ask us for our citizenship before they enter our bodies....anyway....

Anyway, after cancelling a much-anticipated trip to the US in 2020 because of that policy, I kind of looked at the astrological timeline and decided, "Until Saturn enters Pisces in March 2023, you're grounded. Enjoy Japan!"

And I've gone on to ponder that maybe I never fly again. If so, so be it!

Having said all of this, I've been commuting and shopping by bicycle since 2004 and I can count on one hand how many times a year I even ride in a car. Partly, my motivation has been to do a tiny part to not pollute, partly I like getting the exercise worked into my day and partly I just love being outdoors on a bicycle.

Anyway, I've been thinking a lot lately about such questions as yours----and quite honestly, I could be pretty darn content living a really simple life. I'd get really good at acoustic instruments, maybe take up painting, spend lots of time writing; if our civilization reverts to something where the grid is down, I think I could adopt pretty quickly.
