This is an old family-bench, situated in the garden, in front of a cluttered log cabin in my hometown Onderdendam, in the north of the province of Groningen, the Netherlands.

When you sit here, you can hear the grass and flowers growing.
When you sit here, the insects buzz around your head.
When you sit here, you can smell the honeysuckle and the roses.
When you sleep here, the spiders and mice crawl all over you.
When it thunders here, you feel safe.
