Thoughts and dreams of a forever loafer

Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore

After two hours of walking without rest, I realise I’ve lost direction. The path must have wittered a long time ago, I don’t know where I am. I look around and I can only see trees, dozens, maybe hundreds of them, like soldiers lined up in the battlefield.

The silence is overwhelming, it seems that time here has frozen into a sort of eternal spring.
While looking around, my eyes find scattered bones on the side of the path. They look dry, the creature who owned them must have perished too many days ago. Frightened, I continue my journey trying to block all worries from my mind, trying to imagine the glorious peak ahead.

And suddenly, I notice a dim light coming over from a glade in the distance. I hurry there, I step into the bright meadow and… I stare.
There are two deserted bathtubs, filled with clear water, awaiting for passers-by to stop and enjoy the unexpected gift. I wash my hands, my face, my thoughts. I splash water around me like a child, I feel like I’ve found the wheel of fortune. From here I can see the peak and look, there is the path too! I take a deep breath. And I carry on.
