Tonight let’s visit Belgium again. It is the spring of the year—early May. This time we will walk the paths of the Hallerbos, also known as the blue forest. It is so named because the floor of this large wooded tract is covered in blue bells. The wood is illuminated in a blue so rich that [...]
As jolly old St. Nick promised, when last we visited his snowy lair, he and his prancing deer are headed our way this beautiful Christmas Eve. We are to help him on his late night journey of generosity and love—giving to the world not only those material things we enjoy, but also, for those who truly [...]
Tonight we are in a grand old forest standing on a platform which is positioned near the tree tops. It is your turn first and the assistant checks your harness and connection to the zip-line that stretches beyond our line of sight disappearing into the dense dark canopy of leaves and limb. You let out a [...]
Tonight we are hang gliding above the blue pacific just off the Northern California shore. The sky is so bright, so blue, that no poet, no painter, could write nor blend pigment to faithfully represent. Wind buffets as we cut and soar. Birds of differing feather stretch wing beside us and gaze as if to say [...]
Tonight we are North Pole bound. We’ve been invited to help that jolly old man with his important December work. You and I have flown many times in our dreams, and tonight we meet in Vinton skies to join hands. We rocket through the twinkling night, crossing over landscapes of leafless browns and grays that that [...]
Tonight let's visit Belgium my beautiful one. We will stay in Bruges--a town located close to the north coast. We'll start out wondering by foot as the center of the city is vehicle free. The architecture is stunning, there is art, folklore, chocolatiers, restaurants, and boutiques. When our feet are tired and our bellies full, [...]
Tonight we walk onto a well wore hardwood floor--worn from years of tap, soft shoe, twirl, jump, and slide. The room is warmly lit and as we walk to the floor's center, the unmistakable melody of a Tango fills the space. Though you, in reality or dream, could easily move through each romantic step and movement, [...]
Tonight we're taking a row boat across a clear blue lake. The breeze is up a bit and small ripples persist on the water's surface wherever we turn to look, but it is warm and easy paddling just the same. The two o'clock sun is in its glory high above and it's bright rays dance and [...]
Tonight we are trudging through a Vermont wood. The snow is thick so the going is slow. We seek a tree for our cabin. The light of a full moon glistens off the surface of the newly fallen flakes, that still drift down from the heavens. We guess that four more inches have joined the six [...]
Tonight let’s take a walk down an old set of railroad tracks. The tracks haven’t been used in years having been replaced by a new line some time ago. The locomotive that rode these rails bore a coal fired boiler that produced an impressive head of steam—it’s whistle resounded for miles. It ran from New York [...]
