Q1. What colour is the road?
The road is grey. I guess because that's the colour of roads. I'm not really sure there is another reason.

Q2. What texture is the road?
Rough, tarred with potholes. I think I decided on this because I figure the road of my life is far from perfect...

Q3. How solid is the road? Solid but with potholes and cracks. Again my way of thinking is that roads must be hard and firm by nature.

Q4. How do you cross the river?
In a rowboat that creaks as I paddle across. Being in a boat always makes me feel somewhat peaceful. In the middle of the ocean or lake or river with not a soul else around and the peaceful creaking of wood and splash of water. It's the only place I have ever felt at peace.

Q5. What does the water look like? Crystal clear. I think it again has to do with the idea of peace and purity and cleanliness. Maybe if I took a swim in it I would emerge whole.

Q6. How fast is the water current? Slow with a gentle current. It's not the kind of current you have to battle against, just a smooth easy one you can go along with safely or row against with little difficulty. Kinda how I wish life would be.

Q7. Is there anything in the water? If so, what?
Fish swimming around. The only life-form in my mental image are the fish. I'm not sure what that means.

Q8. What colour is the house? White walls, red roof. I always think of this as the utopian landscape. A little red-roofed house with whitewashed walls, unblemished. It makes me feel sad actually. I end up wondering if the outside matches the inside.

Q9. What condition is the house in? Excellent condition, looks like a mansion. But the inside might not be as wonderful. Like my own home.

Q10. Does anyone live in the house? If so, who? No. It is empty but it has borne a lot of witness to a lot of madness. Now it just stands there like a stark reminder of days past.

Q11. What colour is the cup? Brown, made of wood. Sturdy but not indestructible. I think I am the cup.

Q12. What condition is the cup in? Cracked. But not shattered...

Q13. Is there anything in the cup? If so, what? No, it lays on its side. Why would a cup be standing upright in the middle of nowhere?

Q14. What is the obstacle, and please describe it in detail? A wall with barbed wire on the top. This is a dead-end. I guess I tried to picture the biggest obstacle I could think of and since nothing would end the road more completely than something impassable, this was it. I do think of my life as a dead-end sometimes.

Q15. What do you see beyond the obstacle? I can't see beyond it. But the sky overhead is clear blue with clouds. I can't see beyond the past sometimes. But if I try hard I can still see some beauty.
