This guy is a saint. To have that kind of contentment and peace is the goal of most religions. Honestly I'd like to hear more of his life, would love to talk to

Yes, he kind of reminds me of the aesthetics in India and elsewhere. Respect.

  (In the interests of educating, not of "dunking") I suspect you mean ascetic? The difference is explained [here](https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/aesthetic-vs-ascetic https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/aesthetic-vs-a...). (Of course, it's also possible that that was just an autocorrection failure)

I feel like my could hear that kind of contentment. But of course there are property taxes and the like. It's easy to lose what you have and what makes you happy. I want land, but will never get it.

Probably being a shepherd has something to do with that. It is interesting to note that all the prophets of Abrahamic religions have been a shepherd at one point in their life, for examples the most popular ones namely Moses, Jesus and Muhammad were all once shepherds.

Come and visit Wales, specifically Mid-Wales, like say Lampeter, or Newcastle Emlyn. Go to a pub in the evening and have a chat to some of the local farmers, if you buy the beer, they'll be chatty enough.
