Before I ever went off to my first day of school I was
reading. I loved it.
I did my fair share of running all over the neighborhood
with a host of friends whose faces changed with constant moves. What never
changed was the thrill of new worlds filled with sights that challenged my
imagination. There were concepts that I had never even thought to dream. The
greatest tool we have as thinking beings is the ability to think. Why not
sharpen and customize that tool? There really is no limit on what it can do.
There is not one single invention in the entire world that wasn't spurred into
existence by somebodies imagination.
For me, reading took on countless journeys to worlds that
felt completely alive. I've hung in the vastness of space as a glistening orb
slowly rotated beneath my feet. I've stood upon the deck of a ship as the bow
spray coated my face. I've delved into caves reaching deep underground, and
watched my lantern tumble down into the abysmal pit at my feet. I've clung to
the side of a mountain as the wind did its utmost to pry my fingers loose from
the crumbling rock. I've even dove through the clouds perched atop a green
Dragon as we wheeled in the sheer delight of freedom.
And now I am bringing some of my own worlds forth to spread
this feeling to others.
