it’s not a hill, it’s a mountain
as you start out the climb
I’ve often wondered what Luke visualizes when he thinks about visiting other countries. We’ll be talking about this or that continent or capital or region, and I’ll say something like, "Maybe one day we’ll go to France/Uzbekistan/Norway/Angola/New Zealand. Would you like that?" He nods in response and says "Uh huh." Sometimes we’ll talk about the particular attributes of a country: whether it’s hot/cold/warm/cool in a given season, whether there are mountains or jungles there, and he’ll file that information away. But I wonder if he ever thinks about what it would actually be like to physically be there, at ground level, looking around. I doubt he would think the ground is color-coded like on his maps; he’s beyond that. We do fire up Google Earth one or twice a week and check out various locales, but that can only tell you so much about a place. I’m not saying I can visualize any country perfectly either; heck, I’ve never been to a jungle or a desert so all I know is what I’ve seen in pictures, but… It would interesting to know what pops into his mind.
