There is nothing like being left alone again, to walk peacefully with oneself in the woods, to boil one's coffee and fill one's pipe, and to think idly and slowly as one does it. - Knut Hamsun

A glass is good and a lass is good,
And a pipe to smoke in cold weather;
The world is good and the people are good,
And we're all good fellows together. - John O'Keeffe, "Sprigs of Laurel"

"On Receipt of a Rare Pipe"
For this: Some links we forge are never broken;
Some feelings claim exemption from decay;
And Love, of which this pipe is but the token,
Shall last, though pipes and smokers pass away." - W.H.B.

A soon-to-be retiree's deep thought refrain - "working hard at doing nothing".
It's not as easy as one might think.

Deep thoughts are fine, but can be tiring. Saving the world is hard work! I like sitting on my deck, staring into the woods, puffing on my pipe, and thinking NOTHING. This, too, is difficult and takes a lot of de-concentration.  |

And then there's this, which I just read...
Some stranger somewhere still remembers you because you were kind to them when no one else was.

At night though, I’ll take delicious sips savouring each one, hoping to keep the embers alive forever, as though trying to delay the inevitability of the rising sun, and the start of a new day. Too soon, the bowl will be finished. Too soon, the sun will rise, but, in those moments of late night solitude, shared only with my pipe, I can almost feel eternity. - Greg Pease

Let the toper regale in the tankard of ale,
Or with alcohol moisten his thrapple.
Only give me, I pray, a good pipe of soft clay,
Nicely tapered and thin in the Stapple;
And I shall puff, puff, let who will say, “Enough!”
No luxury else I’m in lack o’.
No malice I hoard ‘gainst queen, prince, duke, or lord,
While I pull at my pipe of tobacco.
- John Usher “A Pipe of Tobacco”

Travellers say tobacco springs
From the graves of Indian kings.
Fill the pipe then smoke will be,
Incense to their memory.
Though the weed's not rich nor rare,
"Tis a balm for every care.
- Peter Piper

I'm rarely seated when smoking and generally smoking while I'm working. So whatever I'm doing is what I'm thinking about. Yardwork, efficiency reports, time studies, ergonomic improvements, safety issues, etc.

People who smoke pipes are so often charmingly eccentric, introspective, intellectual, patient and boisterous, all rolled into one. Without souls of such a variation of experience, personality and vibrancy, our hobby would be just a sandwich, tasty and enjoyable but devoid of culture.
