Next Stop: IMAGINATION!

Imagine yourself sitting in a dark expanse. You can't see anything, but you don't feel blind... you don't feel suffocated in darkness. It feels, in fact, quite airy, and you know that the deep black shroud that sits over you is vast - indescribably so.

You sit on nothing, and it's quite comfortable. You can't feel a chair, bench or other support holding you up, but you are relaxing and expectant - like you are ready for something to begin. Something does. Far off to your right, you spot an almost too-tiny-to-see speck. This speck is red; a glowing pin prick in the vastness. As you watch it, you begin to tingle, almost as if you feel the warmth from the dot seeping into you. You wait, a slight smile appears on your face as if you know what's coming next - even though you don't.

Far off in the deepness another pin prick appears. It is vividly clear, as the first, but this one is a vibrant blue. It's a shade of blue you've never seem before, one so bright and clear that you feel as if you are looking straight into a blue diamond. Even though the spots are miniscule, you see them with perfect vision; your eyes are clear without needing to strain in the least. Then, as you observe, you notice the two specks begin to shimmer, just like you've seen the stars do in the cool night sky. It looks as though some sort of warm vapor is passing in front of them, letting them dance in the deepness.

Then you begin to move. Slowly at first, but then quite swiftly as the wind begins to ruffle your hair. Suddenly you are flying; moving so fast that time seems to slow down. You look around in the vast expanse and wonder how fast you are moving... probably too fast to measure. You look ahead at the two pin pricks of color and notice they are larger. Yes, you are moving toward them. You push away a wave of concern and lean back, closing your eyes and enjoying a new smell that has been delivered by the rushing winds. Sweetness... cool, clean, sweetness. It's the only way you can describe it to yourself.

Rushing upon the blue speck, you realize that the sparkling pin prick is now much larger than you expected, and radiantly colorful. Although it's main hue is clear acrylic blue, every other color in the rainbow (and other colors you could have never imagined) sparkle throughout the giant sphere. Almost too bright to look at, you stare in perplexed awe at such beauty. Never before have you seen something so valuable (you tell yourself it must be valuable) and been so close.

As you grow closer and closer to the magnificent, dazzling jewel, you realize how quickly you are coming toward it. Suddenly, before you can inhale a breath, you have rushed upon it, and gone into it. A bright shatter of light steals your sight for just a moment, but quickly reveals that your are standing inside the great sparkling sphere, peering around in questioning awe, bewildered and amazed at where you are and what you are seeing.

Never before have your eyes seen so many blinding colors. Flashing and dancing, they perform a beautiful dance, weaving around you, above you, below you; spinning a complex web of brilliance, they seem to never grow tired of this indescribeable display.

You realize now that you are standing. Not knowing what you are standing on (if anything) you look down to see swirls of color looking up at you. Turning to look to your left, you strain to see beyond the dazzling light show into the vast deepness. There, about a hundred yards away or so, you see the other orb: red, glowing, spinning, flickering in the night sky. Taking a step toward the side of the star-like jewel you are in, the colors fade and move out of your way. Your hand reaches out and you are suddenly floating through space.
