rural simplicity
Pastoral life's essence
Rural simplicity is the uncomplicated, unhurried quality associated with country life—freedom from urban stress, fewer material concerns, closer connection to nature and neighbors.
The phrase often carries nostalgic or idealized overtones: They left the city seeking rural simplicity.
It can be genuine aspiration or romantic fiction, depending on who's using it.
