What’s a movie or book that inspired you to travel?

C.S. Lewis

I like to read…the trouble I have is focusing. I can re-read a page two or three times while trying to stay awake or keep my mind from wandering on to other bits causing current anxiety.

However, as a child, whenever I heard a story as opposed to reading, I focused better. As my interest grew towards the characters and the various situations they found themselves, my mind was keen to imagine how the story would look as if played out before me.

C. S. Lewis’ “The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe” was one such story that once Lucy reached the back if the wardrobe and found herself in Narnia, that was it. I was hooked on the story.

There are others I find just as fascinating, but escaping the mundaneness of Central, Virginia to a world like Narnia opens up what extraordinary places there are elsewhere.

Be careful of troublesome situations, and, just in case one needs a reality check, make sure one can find their way to the wardrobe door.
