[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 444776, member: 2020"] Thank you, William. The support IS appreciated, and your friendship is appreciated even more. It is. As for my Travelouge, it is very incomplete. America is such a huge place. Some of us, like me and William, live near large cities, and perhaps everything one could ever want is there. Perhaps. Perhaps not. Beyond the city, beyond the sprawling suburbs, beyond the local farms, is a land of endless vistas, horizon upon horizon, stretching away endlessly into the blue mist and past the limits of the imagination. It is there. Beautiful, wondrous, grand ... but it can be terrifying and overwhelming. For it can be empty, cold, and lonely beyond bearing, that endless World. And it's reality can be too great, too staggering, and too vast. (Let me put it this way. Get up and travel 5,000 miles around America by automobile, alone or with only one or two companions. Afterwards, rewatch the film Fellowship of the Ring. You may find yourself looking at Frodo and Sam, and perhaps the others, with new insight and understanding. In my case, new sympathy.) [/QUOTE]
