The Hills are Alive

It's good sometimes, to escape from city life; the busy streets, pushy people, honking cars, the drilling roadworks. To escape from reality in a way, and retreat to the countryside - somewhere quiet, where the only noises you hear, are the chirping of birds, the soft movement of an almost still river.
It's good sometimes, to soul-search. Find yourself - your purpose in life, your hopes, your dreams. And return to society a better person.
Hopefully.
