As I finished work today, the soft orange light of the sunset tempted me to a quick drive. So often I forget that I'm only a short while away from the countryside. Driving past thatched rooves and rolling fields, I though about how so much of my life has been spent living in rural area. Four years now I've been living in this big town, the rest of my life was spent not seeing much more than what bordered my small hometown. I do miss it. The nature mostly. The chorus of birds in the morning, the calm uneventful days, the quiet nights. Only being a short walk away from lakes, rivers, forests and fields. There is such a thing as the Biophilia Hypothesis, which suggests that "humans possess an innate tendency to seek connections with nature and other forms of life". My time in that small town wasn't a happy one, but the nature around me fulfilled an integral part of me, something I'm now missing. So I drove, but I couldn't quite find what my heart was truly looking for - somewhere where I could just fade into the quiet of the cool evening breeze.
