You Happy Place

Everyone has a place that is special to them, that is almost sacred ground to them. I am not talking about a home or anything like that what I am talking about a place where you are by yourself in nature. More like what do you see in your minds eye? For example I see myself in a forest clearing next to a weathered rock face with moss on the ground so thick that you can feel it between your toes. My place is where the trees stretch out above you with the canopy providing you with shade no matter where you stand. The place that I write of is a national forest in southern Illinois. I spent part of my youth there and it never really does leave you. What I ask of you is to tell me what your special place is? What do you see in your minds eye? Think about it and let me know.
