Excerpt from A Star in My Hand:
I smile at the thought of that life, certain though that the ideal dream would wake to a reality I am not yet ready to live. Too many roads to travel before I settle on just one.
The seed of Argentina was within me, given to me by some long lost magazine article I saw years ago. Why not? I thought, rising from my overstuffed lounge chair. Standing in my perfect living room, I committed myself to life on the edge, traveling, exploring, rejecting the mundane. No logic, no emotional pleas would ever be strong enough to stop me. Deep into that very night, I planned my escape.
Yet who knows, perhaps there is a second or even third dream evolving at this precise moment that will hijack my life into a totally new direction.
