In the middle
Something serious

All I need is the salt in my hair and the sand between my toes.

“If there’s heaven for me, I’m sure it has a beach attached to it.” – Jimmy Buffett

Many levels
Of movement
Proper fashion

Quietly treading down a narrow path, trees are nicely spaced-out on all sides. Just hang out and have the best time in a peaceful place far away from the noise of a busy day.

“The world is always in movement.” – V. S. Naipaul

Outward bound
Primary conception
Dream appears

Winding down a familiar path, the final few comfortable walks in established territory are wistful.

“Don’t leave spontaneity to chance.” – Peter Collins

Physical fringe
Land edge
Waterbody

Overpowered by large trees obscuring the magnitude of the liquid expanse, dense herbaceous vegetation dominates the lake.

“The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder.” – Ralph W. Sockman

Escape itinerary
Spontaneous burst
Ecstatic temporality

Breaking from the past and the future, for a brief duration after the rain a luminous glow enveloped the town. A clean unburdened slate impartial to destiny, there was nothing ordinary transpiring in the wet streets.

“But the true voyagers are only those who leave just to be leaving; hearts light, like balloons.” – Charles Baudelaire

Back in the day
Time to time
Lose my way

A few remnants of small antique gas stations with attached canopies still dot the Missouri roadside landscape. Designed to preserve the character of prevailing environs, oil companies deployed these pre-fabricated filling stations to reflect local house styles. Gas pumps could be approach from either side to provide an efficient distribution scheme.

“As drive-in filling stations replaced curbside pumps in the 1920s, the new structures sought to assimilate with the existing environment.” – Laura Mallard

Things might have been
Summer dreamstate
Sure of itself

The conditions of experience explain why objects appear to have particular properties. Thus appearances are epistemologically fundamental to explaining experience. Philosophical theorizing about perception also involves the observation that things are not always as they appear. Of course, an experienced illusion is a specific manifestation and in this regard illusions exist.

“The universal reality of all relative existence is something else; therefore, it is like an illusion.” – Thubten Yeshe

Changing perception
Alternative imagination

The city functions as a dense concentration of stimulation, unless habitual contact renders adaptive sensation apathetic. In the aware sense of immediacy, something present ensconces in terms of linear causality.

“The individual’s field of experience has a certain structure, and is shot through with meanings and affirmations.” – C. K. Ogden

Assembling material
Gradual application
Fictional knowledge

Heading into the city with keen expectancy, new sensations await interpretation within a sporadically encountered stimulation field.

 “The psyche works over the material presented to it by the sensations, i.e. elaborates the only available foundation with the help of the logical forms; it sifts the sensations, on the one hand cutting away definite portions of the given sensory material, in conformity with the logical functions, and on the other making subjective additions to what is immediately given – and it is in these very operations that the process of acquiring knowledge consists and it is all the while departing from reality as given to it.” – Hans Vaihinger
