Peace and Simplicity

Sometimes I wish that I could just run away, run away from everything that surrounds me. There are even times when I wish that I could run away from myself. As I lay awake last night , watching the dawn slowly encroaching on night, images of my travels in Scotland floated in and out of my head. I long for that peace and serenity that comes with just sitting on a simple wooden bench, in awe of nature, watching the world pass me by. I hate the conflict of mind and heart. I think man would be better off with either one or the other but not both.
