Physically, I am here. Mentally, I am far, far away. I cannot help my mind from going astray. It travels long distances and short. To places of all sort. It takes me to my classroom. A place where young minds bloom. It takes me to my favorite place to dine. Sharing laughter and a glass of wine. It takes me on Sunday strolls. Surrounded by many happy souls. It travels to my homeland. I smell the sea and touch the sand. It travels to a place where I find my peace. Where all of my troubles cease. It travels deep within my heart. Always a good place to start. To understand why physically I am here, but mentally I am far, far away. And cannot help my mind from going astray.
PHYSICALLY, I AM HERE

“Mentally I am far, far away.” That’s how I feel this evening. I’m wondering several things but I know these musings won’t be answered for awhile.

I enjoyed following your mind as you travelled to all of these places – so great to have places like that!

And so beautifully you remind us of what a daydream can do. Take us away, right when we need to be floating!
