(CBS) Deep in the woods of western North Carolina, 3,600 feet up a ridge of the Great Smokey Mountains, you will find Karen and Paul Fredette busy filling their unique niche among hermits.
"We feel we have a ministry to hermits and that's what we have committed ourselves to," Paul Fredette told CBS News Correspondent Dean Reynolds.
They do it by publishing a quarterly newsletter named "Raven's Bread" to those for whom soul-searching solitude is sublime.
"Obviously not everybody can be a hermit," Fredette told Reynolds.
According to Karen and Paul, hermits are living in plain sight among us, some even in city apartments. They're a part of society - one step removed - that desires a life of contemplation and believes quiet thoughtfulness has a social purpose.
"Simply a person who lives alone, by choice, for spiritual reasons," Karen Fredette told Reynolds.
