Beautiful healing views are always at hand!

You miss an awful lot when traveling in the dark, especially on the 45-minute drive from Reno Airport to Lake Tahoe in Nevada.

I recently made that trip around midnight, and, like the character in Bruce Springsteen’s “Cautious Man,” “didn’t find nothing but road.” Two days later I returned to Reno and realized what breathtaking views the cover of darkness had denied me. A sunny morning drive revealed a panorama of hills and mountains that was a feast of beauty to my urban-acclimatized eyes.

And that got me thinking. What about the glorious vistas we’re missing if we travel in the mental darkness of believing life is solely material?
