Secret Wish of my Heart
An LO for the Sue Cummings CT July challenge.
Journaling reads:
I read those words in a book once. It made me think about what I truly wanted, my own hearts wish. Not for anyone else, simply for me. My answer came quickly enough. For as long as I can remember I have always wanted to live in a castle, not just to visit, but to LIVE in one.
I just want to sit in room and feel the magic of forgotton years surround me. I have pictured it so many times in my head;
sitting on a chair by the window, an open book on my lap, soft sunlight filling the room around me. Dust particles float on the air as I listen to the soft buzzing sound of bees outside, dreaming of a life from yesteryear. I rest my head against the cool stone wall, wondering whether anothers cheek had rested here sometime before, all those endless years ago. I close my eyes and feel the gentle vibration of the sea below as it crashes into the castles foundations. Lifting my head I turn to listen, a tune half remembered drifts fitfully on the breeze, too brief, too indistinct to name.
Yes, my yearnings are deep. I often wonder if I am actually remembering a past life, somewhere in Scotland or Ireland, in a time long ago. Even as a child I would imagine these things, and well remember wanting to read all I could about kings and queens, castles and more. As an adult I am still reading the same things and have countless books in my libary of the histories of the Celts of Scotland and Ireland, along with many celtic based fantasies. Listening to Enya, Clannand or Loreena McKennitt transports me to another world in another time.
Fanciful thinking? Perhaps it is, but for me it is a yearning that lays hidden in my heart, my very own secret wish of my heart. Thanks for looking
