Today’s prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “favorite place.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

A favorite place can be real or imagined, or a combination of both. If I were to create a favorite place, it would have quiet sounds of nature. Gentle bird songs, whispering breezes, and a trickling of water. There would be lush greenery including ferns, trees of course, and a mingling of daisies and black eyed Susans which I’m cultivating. There would be rocks, smooth rocks to sit on or bask in the sun with. There would be only occasional human voices, maybe singing around a fire. Oooh, a cabin down the path that has a fireplace. And dogs. and horses. Now, I’m describing heaven, or what heaven would be for me.

There can be glimpses of heaven on earth. Slices of paradise since Earth IS a paradise or would be if we respected the work of Earth’s Creator, whoever or whatever you believe that is.

There were many years when I lived near the ocean and would have little slices of heaven in the late afternoon which was my favorite time to go to the beach,

Or we’d have an evening moonrise in late September when the water was still warm.

Or a sunset on the intracoastal waterway…

Now, since we’ve moved closer to the western part of North Carolina, there are slices of heaven with waterfalls…

on wooded trails….

… and in my own backyard.
