"It's News To Me" Online Journal

As I talk to some folk who have only seen pictures of Colorado and long to visit, I always wonder exactly what images they have seen that makes them yearn for the Mile High City. I am a native and have traveled the State however, never found it to be any different from any other State I have visited. I acquiesce after visiting Colorado West Wind. I feel very fortunate.

I am fortunate to have become acquainted with a very profound individual who at this very moment forces me to recall the aphorism, by Carl Jung, "Your vision will only become clear only when you look into your heart." (An inner peace that so many have spent years searching for but has yet to find.)

Like me, Mr. Linville is a Coloradian. He is a dedicated writer - should be published - who courtly invites his readers into his world. And as an avid reader of his on-line journal, he allows me to travel with him and his dog, Dakota, to a peaceful place that I long to embrace. In short, I envy Mr. Linville for his ability to capture such magnificence images of an area that seems almost foreign to me - close, yet so far away.

Mr. Linville exhibits his passion for music, though it is apparent that Country is his first love while seeking employment at Willie 92.5 Country Radio. As a lover of music, I am eclectic when it comes to music and art, and have secretly vowed to give Willie a listen once he is hired, but until then, my own personal collection of music will remain.

Fashionably, I have accepted Colorado Desert Wind as my regular dose of reality. Here, Mr. Linville shares his daily eventful life and I have since found it personal, as I am incapable of not checking in to see what he has discovered. He posts pictures of his serene surroundings and after viewing them, you wish that you were there, however, with his descriptive art, drawing you in as if you are, sharing in such peace. While I watch Dakota appeased to do what some people run away from, I myself, long to trade place with him in a matter of seconds.

Here, where I reside, in my cluttered City, with cars and other noisy pollutants, I sit only hours away from Dakota who I can only guess is freely-playfully running in a peaceful region.

Recently, I have learned that Mr. Linville is a website creator and has appreciation for his friends.

I suppose Mr. Linville is currently taking a break and has stepped away; out from his computer, but most likely behind his camera enjoying the beautiful outdoors of a place in Colorado.
