My place. The place that is me. It is the place where I feel my best. I feel me. This place is like a God. It is a person who knows all about me and helps so I better understand myself. How? It’s simply the beauty of my place and how it attacks my senses and pesters my soul to open up when I am there. This place finds me. The experience is a rush. Standing there in the middle of my place as the seconds tick by I feel the adrenaline kick as all my senses work at once. My body experiences a cleansing of all my struggles, past and present, as I let my place willingly give in its effect upon me. The sight, the most beautiful sight. The view of the mountains at sunset from my place can’t be reenacted. The array of deep blues, oranges, reds, pinks, and yellows all at once can’t be impersonated by any professional artist’s wasted attempt at a “surreal sunset” portrait. It was truly a gift from God, to be experienced by those that would find the deep meaning in it. As I am immobilized by my view my other senses begin to heighten at my place. My first experience in my place, at this particular moment, a bee came into my view and I w as awestruck by it. A bee. The sweetest bee. It didn't know how to sting and it was gentle. The bee peered upon me this uncommon object in its vast homeland. We connected, I was sweet, and so then was the bee. As it buzzed around me I put my finger out for it to crawl upon. The brush of its fur and the flap of its wings against my skin felt beautiful. It was simply beautiful. The smell of the meadow air was an intoxicatingly fresh experience. The smell is a simple as the taste of water. Plain, but indescribable. The sounds of the cars driving on the road behind me and the sounds of all life out side of the spot I stood… disappeared. All I could hear was the soft howl of the wind as it cooled every ridge, crevice, and divot upon my face. The most amazing part of my place is that this experience this wild sensational ride, that anyone else I know can only experience throughout a lifetime, happens in a few seconds for me. Most people take years and years, and exhaust their youth, and experience depression and loneliness trying to discover their purpose in life. My purpose is clear to me now. My place lays out my purpose like a cookie recipe, it’s simple, it’s easy to read, and it always turns out good in the end if you “live” by the ingredients. Screaming in my place has a lot to do with sounding my barbaric yawp, which has a lot to do with expressing myself. Expression and Freedom. My place is isolated enough that it allows me to be myself. Societal pressures, high school, basketball, jobs, grades, Everything! Gone. The only concerns I have are of me and my happiness. I dance, I laugh, I yell, I sing, I spin in circles, because no one is there to judge me. That’s what makes my place its best. I don’t have the infectious minds and attitudes of others shaping every piece of me. I am force to be myself, and it feels good. I never experienced life until this. Until I knew who I was and what I was here for. I found my freedom. Everything I have and everything I own, and all my mistakes, doesn’t matter, it was finding me, that was all I needed. I feel accomplished now. I may not be the smartest man in the world, the greatest athlete ever, the most beautiful poet, or the richest man, but I know who I am and where I am from when I come to my place and that is better than all those achievements combined.

My place exists everywhere. For everyone. It is solely a place of beauty and simplicity, that you can find anywhere. My places is about giving yourself into nature and recieving whatever may come out of it. Its about taking risks. Living life to the fullest, and not being concerned with what happens. My place is where I have, and anybody can find who they are. It is a solitary place so you can express and encounter each one of the traits that defines you. It is in essence, you in the form of nature. When it is the right place you will feel it. It will be utopia, and it will give you life.
