As you asked, here's another then Smiley Happy

 

Doing my gardening work, I drive from place to place.  One sunny morning last Summer I drove out to Pegwell Bay and passed an elderly chap sitting on a garden wall looking out over the fields.  I assumed, waiting for a lift or taxi.

 

I was quite surprised to see him still there when I'd finished weeding and tidying and was driving back a couple of hours later, on the way to my next job.  I stopped and asked if he was OK.  He smiled and said "Yes, I can hear the Sky-Lark better out here than in the back garden." 

 

Sky-Larks are now rarely heard around here and I remembered how often, when I was a child with my father, out in the countryside, we would stop and try to find them high in the sky overhead.

 

It saddens me that we have lost so much in my life-time, including it seems, the ability to do nothing and just enjoy the moment.  We've allowed our lives to be filled with often pointless busyness.
