"Fresh place for the evening to gather your thoughts"...
Is this what I really need? Quite possibly. You see, things occurring around us cn have a dramatic effect on the processes of thought and feeling. I'm not referring to the obvious ones (i.e. "I'm stressed, I can't think"), but for something quite a bit more longlasting. Intellectual pollution.
It's kind of like your mind (or soul, or whatever, will not go into details now) is a house on the side of a road. It starts being all nice and clean and empty, and then you move in and start filling it up with stuff, memories, people, emotions, chairs (I often feel as I have the need to go into my mind's living room, light up the fireplace and sit on a nice leather armchair I keep close by and either have my eyes wander around there, reflecting on souvenirs from places and people long gone, or just looking out the window into the surrounding world, feeling safe and calm). However, no mind can be unaffected by their surroundings. Some environments can be nice and calm, kind of like having a house in the country, where the passing of time brings with it other creatures to nest in the cracks of the walls and on the roof, and ivy that wraps the house around and transforms it into a mystical place. Other houses seem to be built on busy streets, where the pollution of passers-by dulls the colour of the house, etches away the plaster and, eventually, finds its way inside, into your sanctuary and makes you feel uncomfortable in your own mind.
I shall not say which of the two different environments is the best, as they are just different. And we all know that, living on a busy street may be stressfull and tiring and harmful, but it is also an exciting and self-renewing experience. Also, the ivy might look nice, but it will eventually eat its way through the walls, plus there's no one around you in your little quiet place to interact with. Both places have pros and cons and, luckily, some people's minds best resemble motorhomes, which can be moved around at will (though not always at their owner's will).
The thing is, sometimes you just need to stop working for a while, and deal with your house a bit. You need to. You go out on a morning or an afternoon, and you inspect your house on all sides. You look for cracks, dirt, plaster peeling off, damp patches, and then go about refreshing your house, in which you can then feel more content living. You refresh your house, you refresh yourself, You refresh your mind, you refresh your life.

A fresh place for the evening to gather your thoughts...
I wonder.
