Now begin to walk, and soon find yourself in some totally different surrounding environment, perhaps exploring a waving field of golden grain, or swimming in a lake.
Continue to wander and explore— finding more and more exquisitely beautiful environments of great variety— mountains, forests, deserts, whatever suits your fantasy.

Step back, and see if you can imagine a world full of people living simply yet abundantly, in harmony with one another and the earth.
