I never thought this day would ever come, when I was so young, so young...

New days are all you ever think about when you're young ... new days, the next hour, your midnight snack ... looking forward into the future didn't go past your next birthday, time slows until the day Santa Claus comes to town, then it's already waiting for next year ... where will I be in the year 2000?

I saw something that spoke to me, not louder than bombs, more like a whispered kiss ... something I'd seen a million times before, but this time it talked to me ... this time it called for a touch ... for a touch ... I need to go there, and touch ... to press my face against it, to watch the sun rise and set over it, to close my eyes and walkabout, to close my eyes and drift to the time of dreaming ... I felt like I could become part of it ... and now I need to stride over the oceans and brave the desert heat ... and touch the very core of the land with my own skin.
