From far or near,
it looks like a beautiful dream.
The Chinese has a famous poem on an incidental journey made by a fisherman through a river, with peach blossoms flowering on both banks. At the end of the river and through a passage way, he found a peaceful village, much like an eutopia. He was warmly welcomed and stayed with them, leading a life too good to be true. It seems like human nature to be dissatisfied, even for the 'best', and after some time, the fisherman decided to leave the village to go back home, thinking that he could mark the route and come back in future. Of course, as the story goes, he couldn't find the place ever again.
Walking through the field of pretty blossoms, I wondered if I were the fisherman, will I leave a 'perfect' place to return home? My mind wondered as my feet wandered and when it is time to go back to my travel group, I realised that I was lost!
