my special place
while everyone in my acting class is doing their relaxation excercises in order to focus better, our instructor always tells us to go to our special place of relaxation, where we felt most at peace with the world. every time, it takes me back to the grassy ocean cliffs of kodiak island. suddenly im back there, laying sprawled out among the grasses and flowers 50 feet up from the ocean waves breaking along the rocks. i can hear the seagulls and the waves crashing, the wind is gently blowing my face. everything is still and i cant help but smile and feel overjoyed and overcome with love and peace and harmony. i have never felt more happy and at one with myself than in those moments. i tried to find a picture of my special place, but of course, there are no pictures of kodiak cliffs i could find that show the true beauty and feeling of that moment. the only one i could find is a painting, but if definitely represents my special place.
