Do You Believe in Signs?

While searching for a stock photo to use for my Facebook page, I actually came across one of my own photos that I didn't realize I had! It is the actual spot of one of my most favorite places in the world! It is also one of my most vivid childhood memories. I grew up camping and fishing in this very spot, and now, it has become a huge inspiration for the story of Will and Sarah's love in The Promised Path.

Jacelyn, if it from here that your inspiration sources, you truly are drawing from the living spring. I've loved Colorado for as long as I've loved John Denver. Yes, I realize that such a view is limited by the romantic perspective and commercial exploitation. But, as a guy growing up in New Jersey, I lived a "tortured" life until I found myself in nature. And, from that point on, the Universal harmonies began to flow and have never stopped since.

Just so happens that I found music during the same epiphany in which I found nature. Like nature, music doesn't call, it summons. And I know enough about the Universe to heed its invitation. I majored in music composition — today, besides being a writer, I'm a songwriter — and have never looked back.

So, when I say your "place" is enchanted, it is with the tacit understanding that such places become part of our heart. We take them wherever we go because they are already at home within us.
