Essay: "My Favorite Place"

Normally and usually, I would say my favorite place is on the lake or pond somewhere watching on that big old 10 pounder to hit the line; sitting down eating a couple of sandwiches, chips and knocking back a Welch's grape, listening to some Kenny G. on low drawing the fish to me with his playing. But now, I have to, and must say, that my favorite place is deep within, where it's quiet and peaceful, to where I can feel and not feel. Hear and not hear. See and not see. Be aware and alert but, at the same time, comfortable, relaxed, and worry free. When I say deep within, I mean in the interior of my being, where it's very few people know where I'm coming from and talking about. But when one finds that place that I'm talking about, they will see and know why this is my favorite place and why I call it that, and pick this one place over everything else.
