Sometimes, I catch a glimpse of the world through Other People's eyes - and I quickly run away and leap off the cliffs of my imagination to my own multicolored view of Things.

So many people seem to see things in shades of gray, totally affected by reality, always looking at the Realistic Point of View.

Well, I say to those folks - suck eggs, babe. You need a good dose of Illusion. Run, hobble or waddle into the wild of the world for a while. Experience the pain of the death of a flower growing hapless and beautiful, unnoticed - and yet remaining absolutely only a flower on the side of the highway - as endless giant vehicles and peoples with inflated tires and egos and deflated dreams tires shoot by carrying largely unhappy people in various stages of moral decay. Run away for a day.

Do something you used to do or something you have never done before. Wear something you normally would not. If you want your hair to be harlot red or alien green just for today - do so. The secrets that lurk in a woman's soul need to come to the fore - otherwise you will experience a particularly nasty menopause. The next thing I would like to do is go on a train ride. That beautiful rhythm of the clacking tracks and glimpses of lives big and small as you choo by - it's so fabulous!

So, on a whim, I applied for a job at Amtrak but for now they didn't seem to have anything for me to do. You see, my best work is done with moving pictures. If only for moments at a time I could show the world - any world - glimpses of my world!

Anyway, I digress again, this page is supposed to be about travel. Really, what I am trying to convey is that you - no matter what your circumstances - need to get your mental passport in order before you embark on even an adventure to the grocery store. Anything can  become an adventure. Start practicing with the little journeys and the big ones will be around the corner.

Let fly with your mind.
