In the middle of a long, arduous path in the mountains, there is a sidetrail. It is flat instead of the constant elevation change, covered in lush green grass instead of the cold hard stone. If one takes that path, one will arrive at a small valley after a mere 5 minutes of walking. It is beautiful, with blue skies and a radiant sun. A small stream flows through the middle, giving life to the surrounding grass fields. A pine forest fills the valley, with moss covered rocks scattered throughout. It is like a dream, a sweet dream. If one chooses to enter the valley, see its embracing beauty and lie down on the soft grass. If one then closes their eyes, slowly being lulled to sleep by the gentle chirping of birds. If one forgets about the main path and its hardships. If one forgets what is at the end of that path, their original purpose. Then they shall never leave the valley, trapped in a sweet dream.
