On The Most Picturesque Island

I dream of perfect places often. When people ask the question "Are you a dreamer or a realist?" ... I struggle to find an answer. I like to think of myself as a logical "real" person when it comes down to my train of thought. But there is no doubt in my mind that i am a dreamer. I dream...and dream. Dream of perfect places, perfect people, perfect weather patterns, perfect smells and sounds..... Will I ever find these perfect situations? Well I've scene hints of them, and quite often. I've scene God's hand in many places. And in these places I live. I want to live. Soak every moment in, not let one bit slip away.

I've decided to make a playlist that would play in these perfect places... Where the sun rises to commence a new day in an ever fluorescent bloom.... Where all is love. The crash of small teal waves onto white sand... Where palms and flower-bearing trees meet white sand to offer hints of shade... The wind-swaying palms that desire to embrace the ends of the most comfortable hammock. The most amazing book in one hand; the most soothing iced drink in the other. A horizon painted with hues of purple pink and orange. A day that will soon fall to the most serene twilight...

A playlist in progress:

"When You Wake Up Feeling Old" Wilco
"Extraordinary Machine" Fiona Apple

"And me, I still believe in paradise. But now at least i know it's not some place you can look for, cause it's not where you go. It's how you feel for a moment in your life when you're apart of something, and if you find that moment..... its lasts forever...." Richard - "The Beach"
