i imagine a room. .with soft music. .trickling drop echoes ,me relaxing on a masage bed with white linen sheets. .white cream on my face,cucumbers on my eyes. .candles around. .and apart from that silence and these words whisperin'drifting silently' drifting silently,ssh. .relaxing hypnosis here James. Ilikeit!: )
