It's been a bit sleepy here...

    Maybe share a poem or thought of where you would choose to snooze, to dream, to take a rest? Anywhere in the world. Or maybe somewhere that doesn't even exist, only in your mind. I think the talk of Studio Ghibli films in previous posts has made me think of this too. Where is your place of relaxation?

    Whatever comes to mind.
    This was my background music writing this just now:

    __________________________________________

    I'm used to the trains in our backyard,
    the baritone that doesn't scare or startle me
    anymore; they give me security, the voice of
    thunder, of a merciful god, a reaffirming decree,
    not an angry strike against my soul.
    I imagine the voice tucking me in, as my head
    lays on hay in the box car. People always complain
    of trains you see, until they've been around them
    long enough. Then, it becomes a comfort.
    A necessity to sleep. I don't dream of earthquakes
    or violent ruptures in the universe. I don't even
    dream of the dizziness of life, and what would happen
    if I stopped spinning.

    I just dream. Sometimes, of you.
    Sometimes, of the place we'll eventually end up.
