A Hermit might make a nice touch

From a religious point of view, the solitary life of a hermit is a form of asceticism, Gerard, wherein the hermit renounces worldly concerns and pleasures. According to Wikipedia, this can be done for many reasons, for example to come closer to the deity or deities they worship or revere, to devote one's energies to self-liberation from saṃsâra etc. This practice appears also in Hinduism, Buddhism and Sufism. Taoism also has a long history of ascetic and eremetical figures.

Wikipedia - Hermit

In the ascetic eremitic life, the hermit seeks solitude for meditation, contemplation and prayer without the distractions of contact with human society, sex, or the need to maintain socially acceptable standards of cleanliness or dress. The ascetic discipline can also include a simplified diet and/or manual labour as a means of support. In modern colloquial usage, the term 'hermit[/b]' denotes anyone living a life apart from the rest of society, or who simply does not participate in social events as much as is common, regardless of their motivation in doing so, including the misanthrope.

The belief that in order to free the spirit we must shed all our earthly goods is something that all great religious leaders have in common, eastern or western, without exception. It is an ideal to which, however impossible it may be in practice, the finest spirits will always return. It is not, in all truth, a vocation which has ever appealed to kleines c and the gang. I therefore nominate Gerard, Jason and Sydney to become hermits of the garden.
