Ittakesa.
It’s my village.
It’s that go to dream I dream when I want to pretend reality isn’t all there is.
It’s that go to ideal when I really want to be idealistic.
I build it. In my my thoughts, my dreams, and in my wishes.
I build it with love and humor. I imagine it’s stone and mortar, log and shingle, all of the physical of it. I picture it. I design it. I put homes made specifically for special people in just the right places. I put community right in the center of everything. And everyone right in the center of the purpose.
I put my villagers in the homes, in the businesses, in the world I see as perfect.
It’s my village.
It’s my home.
It’s how I think through stress and frustrations, disappointments and worries. I build. I build this wonderful world.
If it never physically exists,
It’s foundation and plans,
Hopes and dreams of it,
Do.
Right now it may not physically exist,
But,
It is.
