Zen Garden > Let's Just Dream For a Moment

Let's dream for a moment about your perfect life. Would it be something like this?

You're in your car listening to your favorite CD. Just the two of you. Idling along. Not far to go now. Cruising at a nice gentle speed. You press a remote key. You're almost there. You slow down, change down through the gears and make the right hand turn towards the sturdy wrought-iron gates. They're still swinging slowly apart as you crawl towards them. You pass through, down the long cream brick driveway bordered by tall trees on either side.

The dappled sunlight plays images across the bonnet. You make one final sweeping turn left as you gradually come to a halt. Switch off the ignition. All is quiet. You stretch briefly, take a deep breath, open the door and step out.

The scent of magnolia is in the air. A familiar aroma. Again you breathe deeply to take in its haunting perfume. You can almost taste it.

It's a lovely day, hardly a cloud in the azure blue overhead. The tinkling sound of gently cascading water in the fountain, the centre-piece of the circular driveway, adds to the serenity. All around the fountain the pavement is moistened as fine droplets bounce down, creating a fine spray. The sun causes a miniature rainbow in its mist.

You close the door of the bright red sports car. It hardly makes a sound. Just a gentle click. Porsche Boxsters are renowned for that. Your partner does the same. Your eyes meet. A knowing smile is shared. You're both lightly tanned, completely relaxed.

It's been a long flight from the Bahamas. You glance briefly around the gardens. Bright flowers add to the beauty of the perfectly manicured lawns, themselves a luxurious deep green.

Your partner gives you another loving smile and, hand in hand, you walk towards the large house. Its stately stonework gives the high facade a majestic appearance. The right hand door slowly opens as you mount the steps.

It's been a wonderful two-week break. But you're both glad to be back. You're home!

Did that sound good? Dreamy even? You bet. Why not turn something like this into reality. Other people have. Why not you? There are many people who live just like that.
