This is an imaginery journey down a road. Take in the sights, sounds and colours, just like a video camera recording all that lies surrounding you. Survey the scene, noticing whatis far off in the distance, the background surrounds, the weather, the season and a total image of what you view. Feel the ground beneath your feet. Try to visualize it as a picture on a canvas, but with movement, sound, colour and emotion. You are the surveyor on this journey. Draw your journey on paper if you desire, as it often shows clearer results, then attach your drawing via snapshot or scan to your post.
Q1. What colour is the road? Each stone is grey, black, brown and white (nothing remarkable, your average stone) and smoothed out as if from a riverbed.
Q2. What texture is the road? I am standing on a cobbled/stoned road. It is about two feet wide and goes as far as the eye can see.They are each about the size of my palm (um... 2 1/2 inches about?) and shaped just like a skipping stone yet thicker.
Q3. How solid is the road? The road seems to be perfectly flat when you look at it, but it isn't. The stones are not set right. Each stone is sitting at a different height from the others around. The road is teacherous and very slippery. Everything around it (deep green grass, beautiful blue sky) is calm and serene looking.
You continue walking and come to a river that must be crossed. There before you is the river; the size and depth are up to you. You cannot go around it but must imagine a way to cross it. Whatever you need to cross the river is already within your mind, just imagine seeing yourself do it.
I reach the river and it is no more than a stream.
Q4. How do you cross the river? There is no way to cross expect to step on the sparkiling tops of baby waves. (they barely raise from the surface.. more like shiny spots on the river.) I have to step on each one, but they keep disappearing. It takes forever to cross such a little stream. Under each sparkle is an eel/parania (it looks like some vicious hybrid. Body of an eel, mouth of the parania) and I have to be careful not to fall off my sparkle as those things are waiting for me. (hell this part makes me anxious.. hope you are going to explain this afterwards...) I make it though after tiptoeing each cautious step across. The entire time my face is just floating there like some bloated dead whale.
Q5. What does the water look like? It's a deep sparkling blue. It looks calm.
Q6. How fast is the water current? It is still until I step on it.
Q7. Is there anything in the water? If so, what? I look at the surface and beneath I see my face. My hair is flaming red and washing around as if it were ribbons. My eyes are very sad and there is a huge sparling tear coming down my very pale cheeks. My lips are ruby red. It's as if the colours are exaggerated. I am just beneath the surface. Beneath my surface face are the exact same stones as my road.
You have crossed the river and continue walking. You come to a house. Take a good look at the house. Notice the impression it makes on you.
Q8. What colour is the house? The house that appears is a small one room, clapboard house. It almost looks as if it was burnt and this is just the shadow left of what used to be there. (kinda like a ghost house.) yet I can see that once the house was a pretty brown.
Q9. What condition is the house in? The windows are whole. It was just unused. There is a chimney that runs down the back side of the house and two windows (very small and plain ones) in the front. No door strangely enough.
Q10. Does anyone live in the house? If so, who? Both the before and after house is empty. Never had anyone there.
We continue forward in our minds journey and come to an open field. A cup is on the ground, and we stop to examine it. The cup can be of any size, shape, colour and description. Focus on it's look, condition and contents.
Q11. What colour is the cup? Hmm the cup. The cup is sitting in the middle of my road. It is a beautiful gleaming gold. It is shaped like a goblet yet much larger than that. (the shape would be similar to a martini cup but with a flater, wider bottom and the cup part would be the size of my head.) All around the outside of the cup are diamond shape stones that look like rubies. They are blood red.
Q12. What condition is the cup in? The cup is in prestine condition.
Q13. Is there anything in the cup? If so, what? The cup is filled to the brim with blood. (this makes me anxious also) The surface of the blood is smooth (almost like looking at ice) and the sun glints off the rubies and the blood.
You continue walking down the road and come to something blocking your path. It stops you in your tracks and prevents you from going forward. This is an obstacle.
Q14. What is the obstacle, and please describe it in detail? Now my obstacle is a giant boulder that is the same colour and consitency as my road but it has giant, ragged edges that look very sharp. It's freaking huge (size of my car huge) yet still takes up no more space than the width of my road. (why is this entire thing like an optical illusion?) I can see around and above it, yet I can't move that way.An invisible force is making me contemplate going over it.
Q15. What do you see beyond the obstacle? Behind the boulder is mountains. they look the same as my boulder but much bigger and much much worse. I know that there are boulders all the way from this one to the other side of the mountains. I look at the this boulder.
