Tired of the fuss in the big city I moved to the country side, to a village called Smallville. There aren’t any big buildings, and the houses are all made out of wood. The church with her huge bell is the tallest place in the village. Every afternoon, after work, I like to go to an esplanade in Saint James Park, to savour a cup of tea, to read and to enjoy the fresh air. I love the quietness, the singing of the birds and the races between the ducks in the lake. Children and their grandparents come here to play and to walk by the lake.
It’s a great sensation to be in a place like this. It’s a feeling of
peace that runs through you, a feeling of serenity. This contact with nature is a great healer after a day’s work. All the stress and tiring seems to disappear.
In the big city I didn’t have any time for this. I was always running, either to catch the subway or the bus. I had to keep track on time at every moment. It was becoming too stressed In Smallville I found inner peace, found the possibility to enjoy life at a different pace. In a way, I have learned to reconfigure the rhythm of my life, and to enjoy time after work. The park with the birds and the lake with the ducks tells us exactly that life is like nature; everything has it own rhythm, its own balance, you’ve just have to discover yours.
When I talk to my friends of the big city, and explain them
how my life is nowadays, they all become very jealous. It’s all about making choices. Of course in the big city you have lots of entertainment, but you don’t have to wave to the people you see across the street and the hello to the shop owners. In Smallville everybody knows each other. In the big city it’s difficult to have these kinds of relations. People are self-centred. That’s why I love Smallville. Moving here was the best choice in life that I could have made.
