In the Grove of Spun GoldTruckee, CA

There is a place where visions are brighter, ideas are better, the light is gentler and the spun gold that permeates the air makes you a better person. 

It looks a bit like this.

"My needs are few," she said. 
"Although I have some wants."
The Universe cocked its universal head and waited expectantly. 
"I need clean air, good food, great friends, ease of riches and a lovely place to live. 
I want for my imagination to always create great things that are for my highest good and the good of others. If I can have those things, I'd be golden."

And so she was.

The Road Home is Swoopy SometimesDead Horse Point, Utah

With all the twists, turns, choices and options before her... she wondered how to know which one was right. In the end though, it turned out that all the swoops didn't matter so much as remembering where she wanted to go.
When she did that, she enjoyed the scenery so much more.
And her feet traveled in just the right direction.
It's All Right There In Front Of YouYosemite Valley, CA

She gave me a long look, that while enigmatic, was also loving and kind.
When she finally spoke, it was deliberately, quietly; but with a power that made the air hum, weaving itself into a moment of only us, apart from time.

"It's all right there in front of you. Look. 
Where your eyes see form, structure, depth and balance...
Your heart will understand truth, wisdom, discernment. 
Then listen carefully. For in that moment you will Know... and you will be free."

She took a breath. The air waited expectantly.

"As above, so below... as within, so without, top to bottom, side to side, corner to corner, all around. So be it. Now."

She opened her eyes and smiled. 
Then slowly faded... and disappeared. 
It took me years to understand what she meant.

The Bridge Over Seine-ityParis, France

There are times, she mused, that the spoken version of one word perfectly describes the experience of another word, spelled differently.

She pondered how to say that to someone. 
Then decided to just enjoy the sunset.
