Could you tell me a time you felt calm?

My mind is usually racing all the time, thinking about the day, what things need to be done in an hour, that evening, tomorrow... I'm feeling restless and can't switch it off. What has helped me immensely is spending time in a garden, burying my hands deep in the soil, hearing nothing but birds and bees. No traffic, no schedule, no head fuzz. Every time I set foot on the patch of land a curtain lifts and I'm in the moment. Seeing all the vibrant colours, smelling the lavender, hearing the wild life. There is also a small pond, I sometimes spend ages looking at the still surface to see insects and amphibians doing their own thing, like they are on a wee mission, without any hurry.

I'm in a different country now. No garden around me, however, I did manage to sneak some home-grown fruit into my suitcase to remind me of the peace and quiet from before.
