Ice Breaker – When You Close Your Eyes
I close my eyes, then I drift away, into the magic night I softly say. A silent prayer, like dreamers do, then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you.

Each week on The Stretched Blog, I ask an ice breaker question. The questions are designed to help us get to know each other here in The Stretched Community. I’ll provide my answer to the question here in the post, and then you can leave your response in the comments. While you’re in the comments section, see how others answered the ice breaker question.
(I’m always looking for Ice Breaker question ideas. If you have an idea, send me an email at jon@jonstolpe.com. If I use your question, I’ll give you credit and share your links.)
Question: When you close your eyes what do you see?
My Answer: Initially, I see darkness when I close my eyes. Then I see the fading image of things that had been in my vision right before I close my eyes. As time goes on, I begin to see the vision of the Mini Cooper pulling out of the Starbucks parking lot where I am writing this morning. Then I see the rolling waves of the ocean where I spent last Saturday with my family. And finally, I see an open road in front of me. I have so many thoughts and images that crowd my mind, but the image of the open road reminds me of the unknown adventure that waits in front of me today, tomorrow, next week, next year, and for the rest of my life. And this is what I see when I close my eyes.
