You roam from gathering to gathering, from budding couple to budding couple, never able to feel this fever, nor to embrace it. You want to feel their wond...
There are days when we’ve had enough of the city, when our eyes can’t stand seeing nothing but buildings, and our ears can no longer bear hearing the sound of engines. So we leave. We move from the sidewalk to the trail, and suddenly we’re in the woods. The hum of the city fades away; we’re in a meadow far, far away. It’s the countryside, the forest, childhood returning.
