Where would you choose?
Where do I want to be? - where would I choose to be?
This could be a very broad question, or answer.
You can think of it night and day and come up with many answers.
If I had to choose a couple places to tell you about which ones would I choose?
I think I would choose places that I can think, and reflect.
Some places that I love going to, are the ocean.
I know, it's probably predictable, but I don't care.
I can go to the ocean and daydream.
I can go and think of what it would be like to live so close to a seemingly endless body of water.
Or how I would go out every morning and look out across the ocean - or would I?
I would be sure to enjoy myself at night.
I would start up a fire, and sit back in a char and relax.
I would be pleased rather easily, and would probably only need a cup of coffee to hold me over.
Then the fog would set in and I would have to get up and walk home.
You can walk the coast for miles, and just hear the crashing of the waves.
The sound is like the loudest surround sound stereo system you will never have, made by nature.
You don't have to go barefoot, if you want you can wear shoes - it doesn't matter,
Either way you will temporally leave your marks in the sand.
So this makes me like everyone else, wanting to live on the coast right?
Maybe it does, I don't know.
Paint a picture in your mind of a place where the trees are abundant.
Now put some moss on those trees, during the daylight only let certain amounts of light in.
Don't forget to add the ferns on the ground, and the cool temperatures.
This would be my place.
At night you wouldn't be able to see your own hand in front of your face.
You would ride a bike around and feel the cool breeze against your cheeks, during the summer.
When winter came it would be just cold enough for it to snow, but not to stick.
Do you think it is good to dream?
