Very Summery... I see a large house with the french windows opened onto an old patio, green grass that drops away down a gentle slope into a landscape of hills and woods - light cotton summer dresses, a soft breeze, gentle warm sun, a tall glass on an old wooden table made from a giant tree trunk.
There is a hammock, one leg hangs down and the glass is just within reach, it has ice in it, and something pale and greeny yellow - yet clear and clean.
An old well thumbed book lies open on the table, a large branch hangs over the hammock just enough to shade the eyes - which are closed.
The source is just out of sight, but in hearing is the sound of water gently rippling and trickling.
Measure
your mind's height
by the shade it casts.
