Far Far Away

Saturday, I flew to Las Vegas to be a speaker at the Medical Tourism conference.   The trip started with a window seat where I could watch the landscape change as we flew west, and in a way that’s where I stayed.  My room was in Caesars Palace and opulence does not go far enough to describe the six towers, casino, pool, food, and conference areas.  But my mind never left the grandiosity and natural wonder of the Grand Canyon formed 70 million years ago, and to get lost in its wonder, look beyond seeing, and grasp for things beyond my reach.  Lao Tzu, father of Taoism, said “Wonder into wonder, existence opens”.  I took a trip to Vegas on Saturday, but ended up far far away.
