Sometimes I want to hide, to hide in a safe place where nobody can find me. I  could watch the world going by from this perfectly secure spot. nobody would know that I'm observing life very carefully. this hide-out place would not be dark or sinister. quite the opposite -i picture a very sunny and airy spot. maybe it's more the wish of being invisible; to be uninvolved in any daily activity or thoughts. 

vacations carry this feeling of being away, of seeing and experiencing the new, of escaping the daily routine and of nourishing the soul. it seems to me that this need is almost embedded in all of us. why? is our daily life of such a nature, that we need to escape from it time to time? or is it simply the way we humans are 'built'? is the 'new' or the 'disconnection' - from time to time - simply necessary to refresh ourselves? is it our only way to observe life from a different perspective, which will allow us to change direction, if needed? are hide-out places or hide-out times just a phenomena, like eating or sleeping? if this is the case, then the need to 'escape' should be looked at differently and we all should have a secret place to return to from time to time.
