O to live in Contentment — blessed Contentment! — where green grasses grow and smooth rivers flow!
Denizens are few, but happy. They make their homes along the fertile river lands with happy and fat dogs. Wild horses roam. Denizens light their homes with phosphorescent mushrooms that grow in nearby caves and are also good to eat. Spores travel freely. Bear amble through the woods.
None fear each other. All have what they need — food and freedom.
Visitors to Contentment expect wine and entertainment, but instead find quiet meditation. Yet, they do not leave disappointed.
“It’s an exquisite experience,” says Miss Emeline Traveler. “And difficult to replicate anywhere else in the land.”
The wild horses sleep in the jeweled cave At-Home.
Denizens gather here to hear their stories. From the stories, the world unfolds.
In times of trouble, the cave expands and all may find shelter here.
The cave door closes. Vines grow over and hide the entrance. The mushrooms grow in plenty and provide nourishment. Skylights stream sun into the caverns. Berries grow in the dark.
It is no place for travelers, but everyone finds themselves At-Home on one occasion or another.
Miss Emeline Traveler carries a jewel of At-Home in her right breast pocket, “It gives me peace,” she says.
