Have you seen that special photograph?

You know the one, where you turn the page feeling your spirits lift at the beauty you see.

You think right away, you’d like to be there, visit, house hunt for a similar location. There may be days when you daydream about what your place will look like. You may search the area online, look at vacation packages or plan  a road trip. 

If you went there, then how did you feel?

After sessions of daydreaming, I believe, our minds are so familiar feeling our positive energy, that reality has to scramble to adjust. 

In relationships with people, it may be more difficult to grasp reality. Locations, I feel, are easier to see for what they really are. When the crush is broken, it stays in Humpty Dumpty land strewn across your memories in pieces you keep, and others you let compost.

I grew up with the scent of pine, meadows and the fresh water of Walden Pond and the Water Basin, (Cambridge Reservoir). It makes sense that my special photographs is of a fresh water lake in autumn seen from the window of a rustic a-frame. I have searched for the photo with zero results. 

It’s all in my mind now, a good place to be.
