“There are things you should learn about me.”
“Which are?”
“Nature, music, arts… we have quite a number of things in common. We'll pick it up by and by, I'm sure. Somehow I have strong feelings that we are compatible. So, let’s watch the stars, fish, cook, and sing together, like a real scout . Doesn't that sound beautiful?”

On any trail I am trekking, I began to realise that life is more than just a green and blue.
