There are certain spaces where you can place an imaginary beacon and be transported to that place at any time.
I remember growing up and being in my room looking at the uneven paint craters on the ceiling and transporting my thoughts to distant Pluto. It was happening, thought distant to me, right as I lay.
Another point in my life, is when I was overlooking a vast valley from a high overlook. I can place myself there right now, in an imaginary way. The weather was so cold, but I could feel the closeness to the sun and the exposure to its rays. Everything was below, except for great birds who were carried by wind overhead. It was tranquil.
But you should do this.
As you walk, if you find yourself inspired at a place, place a beacon there.
Then before you go to bed, think to what that place is like at the moment.
Think of the hole in the riverside bank you saw that is some animal’s home.
Think of the library. The stacks with nobody around.
The neglected shed.
Your eyes stop seeing what is in front of you. This is how you know the beacon is activated.
