Escaping pain and turmoil from the world of men, I walked away and disappeared into a forest by a gurgling spring, and there, I found the many shades of green calmed me and soothed my wounded soul. Where shafts of sunlight found the glittering water, and beauty was a kind of psychic balm, I wondered how this place could be so quiet, when so much, in fact, was going on. A breeze song whistled, causing reeds to sway, as rock and stream danced a happy jig, and, within, inch long minnows swam.
