- i would stand in the middle of swirling lights and turn around in circles, over and over again.
- i would climb a tree with a flask and blanket, wrap myself up there and read until the sun sets low and the crickets send me home.
- i would run into a pile of leaves, fall down and kick about in them until my mouth and hair and clothes were full of dust and leafy bits.
- i would wrap my body into a neatly packaged box, wrap it up in brown paper and post myself to cape town, pretoria, uganda, dundee, oregon, jersey, new york and california.
- i would place myself in sunshine, right in the very core of it, so that it soaks into my bones and into my marrow. i want it to collide with my osteocytes.
- i would go rock climbing, to exert every muscle in my body, to feel sweat beads forming on my skin.
- i would cook a huge meal, invite over my life long friends to celebrate change and togetherness despite change.
- i would climb into my marriage and have a conversation with it, a real heart to heart.
- i would take a long walk, on a gravel road that leads to nowhere with a stranger. i would ask them many questions, bare my soul, just to know the freedom of anonymity.
- i would book a cottage, open the door to the sea, and read for days on end in a hammock.
- i would solve a few problems with a few creative solutions that seem to elude me when i need them most.
- i would climb into time and ask it why it moves so quickly, perhaps ask for a few suggestions to make it stretch a little further.
- i would love wholeheartedly right now.
