This is an imaginery journey down a road. Take in the sights, sounds and colours, just like a video camera recording all that lies surrounding you. Survey the scene, noticing whatis far off in the distance, the background surrounds, the weather, the season and a total image of what you view. Feel the ground beneath your feet. Try to visualize it as a picture on a canvas, but with movement, sound, colour and emotion. You are the surveyor on this journey. Draw your journey on paper if you desire, as it often shows clearer results, then attach your drawing via snapshot or scan to your post.
Q1. What colour is the road?
It's a dusty rose and brown.
Q2. What texture is the road?
The road is made out of super fine sand and squishes quietly as you walk.
Q3. How solid is the road?
It's very solid except for the fine rose dust the seems to float across it.
Everything here seems muted. There is that strange dust that seems to float about the air, making it all seem kinda fuzzy. I am not alarmed in any way and feel as if I'm in a dream, every thing is slow motion.
You continue walking and come to a river that must be crossed. There before you is the river; the size and depth are up to you. You cannot go around it but must imagine a way to cross it. Whatever you need to cross the river is already within your mind, just imagine seeing yourself do it.
Q4. How do you cross the river?
I walk through it. It's not very deep at all, barely reaching my ankles. I can see that I am wearing dirty old sneakers and the water splashes around them. The water has no feeling to it. It's not wet at all.
Q5. What does the water look like?
It's a very brilliant blue as I walk up to it but turns a dirty blue that is muted in colour as I cross it. It also has a layer of that funny rose coloured dust on it.
Q6. How fast is the water current?
It's a very lazy little current. It seems to barely move. Again everything in slow motion here.
Q7. Is there anything in the water? If so, what?
Just that funny dust on the top of it.. and well of course my dirty sneakers!
You have crossed the river and continue walking. You come to a house. Take a good look at the house. Notice the impression it makes on you.
Q8. What colour is the house?
It's a plain white, off white kind of. It's old and looks weather worn with the dust all over it. It is made out of some kind of rock and is like the old houses you see in Western movies in Mexico, except this is very tiny.
Q9. What condition is the house in?
At first glance, you would think it was about to fall down because of that dust. However the walls are solid. The floors are just dirt, same as the road.
Q10. Does anyone live in the house? If so, who?
Nope the house has been abandoned for many years. My finger prints are left in the dirt on the walls when I peek in. Although empty, it has a warm feel to it. As if it waits for it's owners return.
We continue forward in our minds journey and come to an open field. A cup is on the ground, and we stop to examine it. The cup can be of any size, shape, colour and description. Focus on it's look, condition and contents.
Q11. What colour is the cup?
It's the same old dusty rose as the road. Underneath it seems to be made out of some sort of clay that is dull in colour.
Q12. What condition is the cup in?
It looked okay, but when I pick it up it starts to crumble in my fingers. It just disintegrates into dust that lazily blows away.
Q13. Is there anything in the cup? If so, what?
No there was just that dust when I picked it up but then my cup crumbled so I don't even have a cup now.
You continue walking down the road and come to something blocking your path. It stops you in your tracks and prevents you from going forward. This is an obstacle.
Q14. What is the obstacle, and please describe it in detail?
It's a wall of dust. Like a tornado of it. It's moving really really fast and is very dark. It seems to be sucking up everything around it. I find it very terrifying and am afraid to go near it as I feel that I will get sucked up and never come back again.
Q15. What do you see beyond the obstacle?
Beyond is just a long road, the same fields and ton's of dust. It feels like I'm stuck in a picture. Really there is nothing there but that damn dust and the evil obstacle.  |
