Time to withdraw

I clearly sense all is not right with the world. It was at times like this that mystics and hermits and sages throughout the ages simply withdrew from the world and sought refuge, clarity of thought and peace of being in the desert or mountains, away from all form of societal order that existed at the time.
I’m not a great one for the outdoors, so unless the desert or the mountain has 24-hour air-conditioning and room service, it’s going to be difficult for me.
The modern sage (or wannabe one) must withdraw then within the space he has.
