Hi, it's Andy here and welcome back to Radio Headspace.

So it's Wednesday morning and last weekend, a very good friend of mine went up to the

nearby mountains, just staying a cabin in the woods.

It sounds very romantic, he's with his young family though, I'm not sure how peaceful

it actually was, but it sounds very romantic.

He said when he arrived there, it was very quiet, it was very peaceful.

Sort of later in the evening, they suddenly heard other voices and they realised that there

was a cabin not too far away and other people were moving in for the weekend as well.

And he said he felt a tinge of resentment, the fact that they were going to have to

sort of share the space and would have to listen to each other's sounds.

And although on the one hand it sounds quite mean maybe, I think it's something we all

can kind of relate to.

It's an interesting thing we seek out quite in our life and yet so easily forget that

we are sharing this space and it really reminds me of a couple of different things.

I see one member living in London, I used to commute on the tube, like most people

living in London, we would all talk about the challenges of commuting and so often it

would come up with us, it's terrible there's so many people, almost as though the people

were something separate from ourselves.

The idea was that everyone else was getting in our way, preventing us from moving around

as freely as we might like to, forgetting the fact that for anybody else we are just one

of the people.

And the same is true here in L.A. the commute on the freeway.
