Reminds me of this time when I was just outside Barcelona hiking in the foothills of Mount Tibidabo. I was at the end of this path and I came to a clearing and there was a lake, very secluded. And there were tall trees all around. It was dead silent. Gorgeous... and across the lake I saw...a beautiful woman...bathing herself...but she was crying...
