So Much to See

Sigh ! There is still so much to see. He can fly anywhere but he judges what is wonderful in a different way from us .Happiness is a shoal of fish so that he and his buddies like a squadron of Mustang fighters peel off and say "Fish boys let's go gettem." They can pass over the most beautiful places and it be totally lost on them. History,artistic function and the ability to see the past,present and future all rolled up into one .
I was thinking of Rome and how it calls you back. She is a generous hostess. The beauty of Stockholm and the magic of Helsinki. There are the places you know you will only see once and only be once and you desperately try to drink it in. The street market in Paris and the musicians that played every morning and if you closed your eyes you could imagine you were in any century.You expected to see the Musketeers trotting by on the way to some duel or to meet a fair maiden (I cannot spell Mademoiselle.) The smell of cheese and exotic fruit,baking croissants and hot chocolate. Looking at couples and wondering what is their story? The song that has the beautiful girl alone in Paris walking by the Seine -"all the artists look at her and long to make her smile,even in her sorrow there's something in her eye that makes the young men jealous and makes the old men sigh." (John Denver -a country girl in Paris)
There is a mental list of places to see like the Fjords of Norway, Burgos in Spain,Prague, Bruges in Flanders .I can remember going to Waterloo and to Gettysburg where world changing events took place. There are so many things to see while we still can.
That is probably why I wrote the time travel books 'The Scent of Time' and 'The Scent of Home' and the third still to be completed 'The Scent of Eternity.'
God is overall and He takes you to places you have never seen .Writing lets you do what you yourself cannot do at the present .I wonder if I was given the opportunity to time travel, what I would really do ? How about you?
