If wishes were horses...


If ever in your life you get the chance to relocate, where would you go? A city that 'never sleeps' or some place near the ocean or mountains?

I would, if i could, run to a place far from the maddening crowd, to live in a wooden cabin with a porch that has a swing, a rocking chair and a lantern.

A warm cabin that would be lost among rolling hills, where sheep and cows would graze peacefully on nearby slopes. Where I could lift my face up to the bright sun and feel the cool air caress me. Every season would march in with fanfare : Summer - glorious, and bright, butterflies and flowers, new life. Monsoons - water dripping from the trees at twilight, thunder, mist descending every evening, rendering everything around obscure. Autumn - Fiery red-orange-yellow leaves twirl down around me, leaving bare trees reaching up to the sky. Winter - Silent, a warm fire and a dog near my chair. Peaceful walks in the woods.

A place where the only sounds I hear are the calls of the birds, crickets' chirps, the hooting of owls, the wind and whispers of trees, the crackle of wood burning at the fireplace. Where an evening means - Plenty of books, dvds, coffee, a blanket and me.

Ah, life :)
