There are all kinds of destinations. The easy ones are physical, but the interesting ones, for me, are the spiritual. For almost half a century I have wanted to know a place I’d read about as a child, and found myself just shy by a few miles of open water. Maybe one on one, I would tell you about it someday. But for now, I am content to keep it in my imagination, and preserve the perfection that can only reside in the unformed dreams of a child, and can visit it in the pre-dawn hours between daylight and darkness like my own “big two-hearted river.” It will always be perfect. After all, isn’t it our dreams that sustain us?
