Floating Sauna

Everyone around here does not seem to understand how amazing it is that there is a sauna floating on the lake in our small village. After I first started to visit here years ago this was one of the things I day dreamed about when I went back to my then very urban reality. I carried it with me almost every day to work on Union Square in downtown San Francisco. The sauna is symbolic and strangely typical of this village as a whole. It has been a place for rest and relaxation for many years. Maybe it's the incredibly good oxygen content in the air here,but it seems like this little place is somehow enchanted.

 This village haunted me with it's memory and I was compelled to scour the internet from California looking at charming red and white cottages that were for sale across the world. My coworkers,friends and family all thought I was crazy. It went on this way for years, until I realized that I was old enough to know what I needed next from life. Now even in Autumn when I get into my small boat and start rowing, I let myself fall under it's spell all over again.A little later when I am too hot to stay in the sauna any longer I stand outside the floating sauna on a small deck.As I look over the lake and into the endless forest I can't help but smile. I feel such intense satisfaction in knowing that I knew all along that it was meant to be.
