What I've been "seeing"

Sep 19, 2012 16:53

Lately, I've been "seeing" this place in my mind's eye that I've only been to in my mind. I have no idea if it's even a place in the "physical realm" or not. (So if it exists in the "physical realm" and any of y'all reading this have seen what I'm about to describe, lemme know 'cause I'd really like to go to wherever it is and see it in the "physical realm" myself.)

The image: a green, grassy lawn gently sloping down to a rather large pond or small lake. The pond or lake is still and ringed with cattails and thin green reeds. On the other 3 sides of this pond or lake is a thick, evergreen forest that also edges the sides of the lawn. To the left (looking at the pond from the sloped lawn), there is a visible trail starting at the edge of the lawn (fairly close to the pond/lake) and leading into the forest. To the right, no trail is visible into the forest and the edge of the forest has wild shrubbage. On the lawn, a bit up from the pond or lake is an old, long piece of driftwood.

Usually, when I "see" it, I "see" it in the early morning light, when the sun has not made it up yet, but there is enough light to see the thin layer of fog hovering just above the pond or lake.

It's very calm and relaxing there. Sometimes I envision practicing various martial arts on the lawn or on that large piece of driftwood. Sometimes, I just envision sitting on that piece of driftwood, cup of coffee in hand, enjoying the view. Sometimes, I'm alone (as much as we ever are truly alone). Sometimes, I'm joined on that piece of driftwood by a friend. I've yet to see where the trail leads, but I've a mind to.

Anyway, that's what I've been seeing. Really hoping that's a place in the "physical realm".
