As you step out of the woods, you see the small, but well-maintained chapel. There are benches there – I sat there for quite a while. As I looked around me, I asked myself if this is the reason I moved out of the city in to the countryside…. As I mentioned, I was all alone through the trail with a few cars passing by, but, by and large, it was just the wind, the water, and the trees… Nothing else to pierce the curtain of silence around me. I felt content. (April 2017).
