the art of hammock laying

Laying in a hammock can be a beautiful event. You are tired, sweaty and just want to rest your feet. There is a bright colored hammock on the porch that is calling your name (or that could be the kids across the street who want to play). As you sit down in it, your whole body molds to the woven pattern of the hammock. You adjust a bit, squiggle even, as though you are feeling out all of the possibilities. The pattern stretches to the perfect amount as you lay down and, if you use it enough- the hammock begins to remember you.

Then you relax. You relax every muscle in your body. All you feel in the slight cool breeze through the bottom of the hammock. You sway slightly. You maybe look at the mountains, or perhaps just the tin roof next door. But you are comfortable and it is perfect.

I am definitely bringing a hammock home with me.
