Refuge and solace

Peace and quiet. A place to escape the bustle of life.

I overheard a conversation in the local hotel restaurant by some oil drill engineer from America.

He went on and on in annoying nasal voice about productivity, and money, and technology, and increased output and 24/7 and investment and how people had to man up or they d be left behind in this fast moving world, and that's just how it was and....

Blah blah blah blah blah. He put me off my food.

Give me a good book, a place where I can reflect, and the gentle conversation of a good friend and I need for nothing.

You can stick your high tech life.
