'The world awaits'

 

 “They say no land remains to be discovered, no continent is left unexplored.  But the whole world is out there, waiting, just waiting for you and me.”  - Lisa Ann Sandell

 When I was a kid growing up on a South Dakota farm my Mom and Dad would spend days building us up for "day trips," and my brothers and I would look upon them with as much anticipation as if we were going to Europe.  So, you can about imagine the excitement a three-day vacation somewhere might generate.  

 

It built a love for discovery; and a lifelong resonance for enjoying whatever might be found around the next corner and then writing about those discoveries.  Writers' moments, if you will.   

 

“The real voyage of discovery," says author Marcel Proust, "consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”
