SCENE: A large mirror hangs in a garden. In this mirror, it is possible to look behind and forward. Man stands irrevocably centre in so much as he stands irrevocably centre between the countryside and the city. There is running water that calms the senses and greenery that soothes the eyes. It is not dark but the shadows provide a sense of stillness. The garden is pleasant; simple and sufficient. In places, there are tools with which to work and baskets with which to gather. 

PLOT: Disillusioned with the City Man stumbles into a Garden. It is cool and quiet, it feels a far cry from the hyperstimulation of the city. There is a reconnect with the soil that offers an alternative path back to the natural world. The choices on this path are not abundant but come with their own challenges. They call on self-reliance and responsiveness. It is a reawakening of the consequence of action. He learns craft and gains insight. It is a moment for growth as his appetite for creativity becomes intensified and as this takes effect the resilience of the world around him grows offering more opportunities for even more knowledge and solace.
