We swung over the hills and over the town and back again and I saw how a man can be master of a craft and how a craft can be master of an element. I saw the alchemy of perspective reduce my world and all my other life to grains in a cup. I learned to watch to put my trust in other hands than mine. And I learned to wander. I learned what every dreaming child needs to know -- that no horizon is so far that you cannot get above it or beyond it.
Have you ever noticed how when youre happy time seems to pass by fast while when youre miserable it goes real slow Life would have been a blink with you whether it lasted a millennium or a month.
