You find yourself in a lush, colorful valley. Following a trail, you come the valley head overlooking a vast landscape. A clear stream bubbles and flows over aged, smooth rocks. Strong, tall oaks stand steadfast as guardians. Maples prepare themselves to produce their nectar so those wanting to collect it. Flowering dogwoods spread the sweet scent through the air. Squirrels bark and play in the trees while rabbits munch on the neverending greens of the earth. Fox kits play in a fallen hollow of a tree. Deer graze on the apples ripe and fallen. A bear fishes, slapping at a trout. A gentle breeze whispers in your ear, making the evergreens wave in hello. The sun hugs it all, providing light and warmth that touches the soul.
Then as one, all attention is turned to you. A sign appears that says "Disturb the peace, it's been done before". So patiently they await for what you might say, for once said, it will repeat itself to the end. Softly whispered, or yelled with might, the words will carry themselves from day to night. A wish granted, a prayer answered, romance conveyed, a joke, biting remark or insult, what be the point? Maybe none, does it matter? Just given the freedom to enjoy and have it all focused on you.
