86a Fields of Dreams
Shangri-La is often told to us to be only a figment of our imagination that we keep hidden from ourselves in our deepest secret dreams. It's a place and time that we all yearn for and search for, only to have it disappear from our fingertips or thoughts like an elusive dream. But sometimes, sometimes if you wish for something and open your thoughts to endless possibilities, it may come true. So it was for me, a short cut, a wrong road, onto a super bloom plain of flowers and colors of a magnitude and magical properties I didn’t think earthly possible. A time and place where reality and myth blurred together into one’s personal Shangri-La heaven. It beckons you to leave your vehicle behind and walk with a young heart and dreams onto fields of wonder. And that sense of wonderment and awe will never leave you, even when the fog and mist have lifted.
May you find your special place and time.
