    It is time to r e l a x . . .

    Close your eyes. Think of a cool summer night. Clear steady sky. New moon. No lights for miles. The ground glows from the light of the Milky Way strewn accross the sky like scattered corn meal. You hear the haunting sound of distant loons echo from all around. The towering oak trees don't even wiggle a leaf. A calmness so calm that it surrounds you from all sides and supports you in your journy of the night sky.
