I know it’s probably exciting
What with all the voices and traffic noises
The dodging in and out of doorways
The fast food smells and bus exhaust
Time must pass quickly day to day
As all those hurrying feet move past
But, did you know there’s a whole other world out there
Just a few miles to the East as the crow flies (or the pigeon)?
There are wide open spaces
Where you can listen to wind
and windchimes
and cows mooing on hillsides
Time passes slowly there
Come visit anytime
