The Rev. Dr. George Hermanson
Vistas are crucial to our seeing. Vistas create our perception. Vistas and geography give us metaphors for living.
I grew up on the Prairies and I could see for miles. A friend said I had flat land thinking. By that he meant, I was always extending my perception of the world. There was no end to the geography. I moved on to the next rise in the ground, looking far and wide. In a sense there was nothing that blocked my vision - there was no end in sight - so let us move on and on into the unknown.
