I am a Loner longing for the Freedom of a simple life

Are you a city person? I am definitely not! LOL
To me having little and living simply have a huge stroke of Freedom. I have often dreamt about living in a small house near a mountain somewhere, no other houses as far as my eyes can see. At one point, when I studied buddhism some yrs back, I dreamt about joining a buddhist convent - to me that was really appealing. It still is somewhat.
There is an island outside of Italy, I don't know the name of it (yet), where one can go and stay for a week or so. It is a convent there, catholic monks I think - and what is so special about this place is that no one speaks. I read about it in a book some years back. The Norwegian author had been there. From that moment on I started dreaming about going there - and some day I will. One full week of complete silence sounds like Heaven on Earth to me!
I have been a loner all my life. If I've been around people, I need my silence for a while. I have learned ways to connect with my inner stillness point no matter how noisy a place I'm in - yet I get so effected by energies, that I still need my own space quite a lot. I should learn to control it..
I have memories from several previous lives, and in some of them I've been living in celibacy, as a loner and sage - yet working as a teacher, healer etc. Maybe that's why the thought of living by myself in a cave somewhere is a longing I have to deal with..
It's not that I don't like human life - there are many great things about it. I just have this longing for a Freedom I don't feel I have now. I am aware that is an illusion - that I'm always free. I am working on connecting full time to the Freedom that exists in the eternal Now.
I have not really talked about my longing to others, yet I felt like sharing it.
Much much love to you
