Imagine....

 The latest DSTV song "live in harmony" from Don Carlos just floors me every time I see it ....

 

Sometimes I imagine that I am living in a different world. Not better, or more, or less than the one I am living now...just different. It may have something to do with the fact that I worry about not having enough time to do everything I want to do in this one life. So sometimes, when I sit in my quiet spot, I go to some of my favorite "places".

 

I am always in nature, in perfect harmony with my surroundings. I can "understand" everything and as I am walking through a forest, plants bow to touch me. I may be sitting by a waterfall (sometimes meditating with a friend) or on a beach at sunset with a log fire, while dolphins frolic in front of a setting sun, totally content in an avatar-like world :) 

 

 

There are always animals around me, birds, deer, dogs, butterflies, and I sleep with them draped over me like a blanket. And when the sun comes up, the birds call me to swim in the most beautiful pond....

 

Call it escapism, being a little uhm...well you know - or maybe I'm just lost in my (very vivid) imagination. Still....just imagine?!

 

 

 

Lost

 

Stand still. The trees ahead

and bushes beside you

Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here.

And you must treat it as a powerful stranger.

Must ask permission to know it and be known.

The forest breathes. Listen. It answers.

I have made this place around you.

If you leave it you may come back again.

saying Here.

No two trees are the same to Raven.

No two branches are the same to Wren.

If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you.

You art surely lost. Stand still.

The forest knows

Where you are. You must let it find you.
