Lightly Child, Lightly.

I want to look out a window at something bright and wide, and at that point accept my nature and understand my intended use and have a clean shirt and clean hands and feel similar to a small planet. I want to be in a fine wooden house by the sea and to have a big sweater.

  1. That looks very much like Sweden or Norway, as I know it from my childhood. A fine house by the sea and a beautiful woollen sweater what do you need more for being happy?
