Excerpt

Excerpt:
Just outside your window
there's a world to explore.
Ready?

Follow that path around the next bend.
Who knows where it might lead...

Make a splash. Get a little too wet.
Dive in.

Sift. Scrape. Go on--get your hands dirty.
Dig deeper.

What if? Why not?
Scan the sky and
take a leap.
