I feel it, the warmth on my face. I can’t open my eyes because of the light, the inside of my eyelids look red, almost purple. The ground I lay on is soft and moist, the grass is tickling. A light breeze caresses my face and makes me feel calm and safe. It really feels like a caring gesture. The smells, yes the wonderful smells that the wind brings, I can’t really place them. I take a few deep breaths and feel my chest rise and fall, tasting the sweet summer air on my tongue. I hear birds and bees, their sounds creating a beautiful melody. I hear waves rolling onto land, keeping a calming rhythm.

I take another breath and feel my head get heavier with all the smells around me. ‘I could stay this way forever’ but after a while I decide to get up anyway. I sit up and stretch, waking up a bit more. I bring my hands up to rub my eyes clumsily, trying to get the last of the Sandman’s sand out of them. When I finally open them I’m shocked, in front of me, as far as I can see, are hills, covered with high grass. As the wind sweeps past them the grass looks like a sea, with waves swirling forwards.

I’m laying on a field of high grass that rolls back and forth in the wind. I want to see more so I stand up. I almost fall while doing this because my legs feel weak, like jelly. Now I can see trees, covered with fruit and flowers. The nature around me looks free and untamed. I turn around because I want to see more. What I see really catches my breath. For what seems like miles the field keeps going, though when I look closer I see it’s not that far. After a while the field ends and the sea takes over and keeps going till it reaches the horizon.

I look at the horizon for a while, lost in thought, until I feel my stomach clenches and rumbles with hunger. I decide to walk over to one of the trees to take some fruit from it to still my hunger. I walk over to the tree that is closest to me. It is covered with pears and I feel my mouth water. I pick a big pear from one of the lower branches and take a huge bite.

The pear swims over my tongue and the feeling is amazing. The firmness of the pear in my mouth was like soft sand, but not dry, more like when you let the sand run threw your fingers. The pear was watery, just right in my mouth. Then, suddenly, I felt like I was on cloud number nine, happy and content. This is what it must feel like to be in love I realised. How could you possibly feel better then this?

When I finished the pear I felt wonderful still and even thought I had only eaten one fruit I felt like I had eaten a huge Christmas dinner with loads of delicious food. I was strong and safe here; nothing could take it away from me. Suddenly I really felt like dancing.
‘Odd, I never liked dancing before’, but now I wasn’t afraid of bullies or people laughing at me, because I’m strong and they aren’t here to hurt me and push me down again.

I start dancing, throwing myself into the music made by nature. ‘I’m really free now, I realize and my dance gets wilder, I can be myself for once in my life.’ The feeling of the soft, sweet air on my naked torso and the lasting taste of heavens pear in my mouth makes me happy and my dance is art, my own art. My dance is my magic and it’s raw and wild. The grass tickles my legs when I fly threw it with my new beautiful wings.

When I stop the sun is setting. I’m tired after my dancing and lay down on the soft grass to rest. I let my hand travel over my stomach muzzles and I feel strong and beautiful for once in my life. On cloud number nine, in this paradise I feel happy and I’ll always remember this place, no matter what. The wind cradles me into the best sleep I’ll ever have and gives me strength to come back to real life, where I’m not free. But one thing for sure, if real life one day also can give me this feeling, it is definitely worth it
