How far can you see?
Last week I was on vacation in the Midwest. I lived in the Midwest for seven years, and I've been back a few times since I moved four years ago. The thing that struck me in the Midwest, as it always does, is how much sky you can see. You can see for miles and miles. That song, "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever" was written by someone who has driven in parts of the country like the Midwest. The cloud-scapes of the Midwest take my breath away. I love seeing all the windmills and wondering just how far away I am from the water towers that I can see along the horizon. I live on the East coast now and I can't see quite as far. I love where I live. The mountains are beautiful. We have some amazing views in this area. There are moments when I drive up the mountain on my way home and I drive right into a cloud. I wonder if I'm driving out of Narnia or into it. I can't always see as far as I might want to, but I've learned to appreciate and love the views I do
