Trips require a couple of things. First, you have to possess a body. There is no compromise on this. Secondly, trips require some form of transportation, and demand that you go by air, water, or ground. And, unless you are walking, you're surrounded by a human-made contraption that limits your space as you move to your destination. A Mind Trip, however, is completely different. With a mind trip, you are limited only by your imagination. Wait...shame on us for using the word "limited." We know better than that A mind trip is limitless and borderless. Infinite doesn't begin to describe it. It astonishes the human mind and ignores the laws of physics. In fact, it ignores every other law ever created, or ever will be created. Luckily, you don't have to rely on our pitiful attempts at describing a mind trip. The stories in this anthology will show you exactly what a mind trip is-and how easy it is to take one. All you have to do is read the first word, and you're off. Bon voyage

There's something about looking at people in old photographs. Maybe it's their smile-or lack of a smile, maybe it's the look in their eyes, or maybe it's the way they're posed. If you look closely, you'll realize the photograph shows much more than just people. It is a microcosm of the time the picture was taken, a museum of their era, a depiction of their when. As our modern eyes stare into their historic eyes, something passes between us, not only from the picture to us, but from their time to our time. When the picture was taken, THEY had the modern eyes, THEY were up-to-date. In this age of digital pictures, what our legacy will be? A hundred years from now, will people stare at our pictures on device screens and wonder how we lived? The next time you take a picture appreciate what you are doing. Realize that pictures are so much more than pixels arranged into something coherent. They not only show who we are, they show WHEN WE ARE. Authors include: Kathleen Ratcliffe, Joseph L.
