Is it The Alchemist?!

Focused on climbing the never ending hill, I thought I heard wind chimes at the top. I didn't even think much about all the droppings I was walking over. I climbed higher on the hill, but the sound was moving, not staying in the same place. That's when I realized I was walking toward a herd of sheep. They were making their way up the hill too. Hundreds of them! There were so many they completely blocked the path. Some wore bells around their necks, and a dog was rounding up the stragglers from the back. It was such a simple moment, but I felt so privileged to be able to experience the daily routine of nature. I also half expected to find The Alchemist as their shepherd leading the way, but I guess he was away chasing the treasure in Africa.
