Driving

I need to drive, one or two hours a day,
To remember Monument Valley, to dream 
To make vanish, ghosts of night,
To quit house of evil, incomprehensive me,
I need to drive, to breathe new hills,  
To hear the best music from "you’re the sky",
I need to drive to be a lucid man.

Monument Valley is truly magnificent. A drive there is to view nature's finest, stately rock shrines. A great drive indeed. I enjoyed your posting. Best wishes, Brian

There must be pleasurable memories of the Monument Valley. Good music always drives the cruel spirits away, maybe a cleansing as well. Try burning sage :)

I can't drive and never tried to learn as I am scared. But I enjoy long drive.

Driving and going around places is always a pleasure. A change of scene is ever welcome. We can see new landscapes and breathe fresh air.
