A glimpse of paradise

Sometimes, on a train or in a car, you get a glimpse of somewhere that looks perfect. A bay or a valley or a village. You wonder what it would be like to live there. You know that it is probably not as perfect as it seemed in that flash, but you wonder.  Maybe you even make a note and a resolution to go back and explore.  But, while you don’t go back, you maintain the possibility of perfection.
