Living in the countryside has brought me peace 🌳, but not without its challenges 🛰️.

Join me in exploring the struggles of running a business from home 💼🏠, the longing for a better, reliable internet connection 🌐, and the hope for a future where technology and nature coexist in a more balanced way ⚖️. Dive into my reflections on #RuralLife, #WorkFromHome challenges, and my vision for a connected rural haven. I invite you to read my poem 📖.
Where Trees Speak and Signals Fade
In a small village nestled by hills, with meadows nearby,
I found my peace where time stood still.
Nature's embrace, so comforting, so wide,
Life is calm in my tranquil countryside.
I left the city, its stress, and its noise,
For cleaner air and life's simple joys.
But one thing troubles this quiet life of mine,
A constant struggle, a daily strife, a challenging line.
No strong or reliable signal to carry my load,
The Internet stumbles on its virtual road.
A business from home, my dream to be flexible and free,
Turns to frustration, a tangled web you see.
Clients await on the other side,
Of a video call that's simply died.
How to explain this digital defeat?
The failure to connect, to talk, and to be heard.
Apologies weigh heavy; they pull me under,
Trust begins to fade.
What would they say, those in bigger towns, cities grand?
With their fast connections and networks, could they understand?
A prime minister, Ofcom, or a man with a plan,
Would they see my situation? Would they lend a hand?
I somehow don't feel they can… or want to…
Even with struggles and technological distress,
Rural life's comfort is something I still profess.
In my heart and mind, the question takes its stand,
Is there hope for balance, a harmony to command?
One day to find, perhaps, in this winding, uncertain land.
But I look forward to a future bright,
Where trees speak, and signals no longer fade from sight.
Where nature's gifts and technology combine,
To create a rural haven, forever mine.
