How to open your eyes
I lay on the ground, sunlight filtering through my eyelids. A soft breeze blowing through the trees. From the sound the wind made, I could discern my surroundings somewhat. I was apparently in an old growth forest. I could tell from the sound of the wind blowing through the high treetops. And the fact that the sounds coming from the trees further away were fairly clear. Meaning, there were not that many trees to disrupt the traveling soundwaves. Plus the fact that the ground I was laying on wasn't grass or moss, it was dirt. Dirt made from the fallen leaves of the trees that were surrounding me.
The warmth of the sunlight on my body, the breeze, the sounds of the forest.
This is nice...
I figured I would lay there In the sun awile longer. And now that i thought about it, I could make out a fallen tree nearby. The moss growing on the thick tree was slightly muffling the sound coming from over my left shoulder. The space the tree used to stand was now empty. Letting the sunlight into the forest, and into my eyes.
Lucky me.
A gust of wind blew new feeling into my body. My senses were awakened by the strenght of the air. As if it were trying to shake me awake. Rather than ignore it and try to go back to sleep, I welcomed the new feelings, and tried to learn more from them. What I learned was that I was wearing so much comfortable clothing, that the only thing showing to the air was my face.
I was wearing some form of hat with a short bill. I could tell it had a short bill because it hardly blocked any sunlight or wind from hitting my face. I could also tell that it was keeping my hair out of my face. I could feel that my hair was wild underneath my hat. If I were to take it off I might have minor problems.
The hair going down to my shoulders was protected by a neck warmer. The neck warmer was big enough to slightly cover my chin. And for some reason I knew that it was folded in half. If it were unfolded it could cover my whole face.
Since it was folded in half it would make a good pocket for random small trinkets. And for that matter, so would the inner brim of my hat.
Wait a sec..
As I thought of it, I could feel a slight bulge on the back right side of my hat. I tried to remeber what I had stored there. I thought of what would be handy to have on you at all times, just in case anything happened.
Matches.
Thats what it was! A box of water-proof matches, inside a small plastic zip bag!
Good to know.
Below my neck I could feel the collar of a wool jacket. The buttons were undone, leting the sunlight soak through my teeshirt, to warm up my chest. And as far as I could tell, I was wearing regular fitting pants. They weren't made of jean, or corduroy material, so they must be cargo pants. As I thought this, I began to notice the wind didn't penetrate as much in the areas where the lower pockets were, confirming my observation.
Neat, more places to store random junk.
As I thought about pockets, I noticed the same protection from my jacket's breast pockets.
Good grief, they're everywhere!
I wondered if my well fit shoes had some kind of secret compartment.
Now that would be funny.
As I was thinking about my immediate surroundings, and observing the feelings of my clothes. I had forgotten to listen. So when I did hear a noise that didn't match the wind in the leaves.
My eyes snapped open.
