Assignment #16: My Journey

I awoken from what seemed an eternity of deep sleep, feeling as if my body and soul were reborn, in a new world a strange wonderful world. I was in an old cabin, I could tell it was old by all the cot webs I was seeing, as if nobody had cleaned or even been there in years. This cabin had but one room, the living room, a small bathroom and the kitchen with a small dining room, "more of a house than a cabin", I thought as I explored the cabin's interior. This cabin was a little creepy with animal heads all over the walls in almost every room, all of the heads covered in webs from the many spiders running around. All this heads appeared to be looking at me as I looked at them, this along with all the spiders was really making me want to leave this place. But yet I stayed, something in me kept telling me I must explore more. Everything in the cabin was vintage furniture, with red pinkish sofas, a beautiful brick fireplace that for some reason had wood in it and was lit, and even a stove that used wood. The whole cabin with the exception of the fireplace was made of wood, what appeared to be whole logs. At last I decided it would be best if I left and headed towards the front door.

Out side there was a meadow with tall yellow grass and giant trees all along the sides of the meadow, as if it was a road, a road I was meant to take. As i started to walk down the meadow I saw how truly big it was, It extended for more than a mile. But not even this stopped me from getting to the other side of what seemed to be its own world in this meadow. I could see wild horses running and grassing from the only part of this meadow where there was short green young grass. This grass smelled freshly cut, this was the best thing I had ever smelled, it filled me with an intense sensation to just lay there and never leave, it was as if I was in paradise and I was experiencing eternal peace. But some how I just knew I had to get across the meadow and to the mountain on the other side, I had to explore, to climb that mountain to the very top to wear I could feel the clouds go through my fingers like water through rocks. I began to run as fast as I could without any breaks I ran nonstop to what seemed to be an end less run to the end of this meadow and the bottom of this gigantic mountain that seem to call to me in an desperate voice to start my climb to the top.

As I reached the foot of this enormous mountain I started my climb with no second thinking, not even the smallest sign of hesitation. As I was climbing I could smell wet dirt as I it had just rained, but yet the ground was dry as a desert's sand. I could hear small rottens and squirrels running all around me as if I interrupted their everyday lives. There were tall pine tress all around me, this trees were pretty much all I could see until I reached the boulders. Just above the tree line there lay a section of the mountain that had nothing but rocks some as big as cars. Yet as I stood in between the trees and the rocks something in me clicked and said you must over come this and make it to the top. So I kept on moving, the terrain in the rocks was much harder to walk every footstep I took I slid down a little on the loose rocks, it was as I was taking one step forward and two steps back. Then I thought what if I just stick to the bigger of the rocks, sure this meant I might have to jump from rock to rock but at least I was moving forward.

When I finally overcame the rock section I reached the peak of the mountain, which was flat very unexpected I thought. It was all plain with the exception of a couple of small rocks. But then I saw a small patch of grass with some sort of statue. From where I was I couldn't really tell what the statue was, so I decided to take a closer look. As I approached the statue I saw that it was a giant Buddha. I was pretty surprised with what I was seeing I never expected to see a giant Buddha statue at the top of this very mountain. The statue appeared to be made of a violet marble. I tried turning around from it but I couldn't I lust stood there in aw of what I was seeing. Suddenly I felt peaceful and rested as if I had just woken from my sleep. I just laid in font of this statue, in the greenest, softest grass I had ever touched, closed my eyes and fell asleep.
