	     Lisa pulled her car into a visitor’s parking area after spending several hours 
	driving to reach the Mt. Pinos Recreation Area in the Southern California mountains. 
	She felt like she had just escaped from Canyon City where she lived as an apartment 
	dweller. Her place was comfortable and pleasant enough, but she often felt so small 
	and insignificant living there--a single star in a vast galaxy of rental units. 
	Getting out the car, Lisa took a look about as if surveying her surroundings.

	     "Yes! this is it! it’s perfect!" she said with delight as she watched the wind 
	blowing through the trees. She opened the trunk of her car and began to pull out 
	several items--food, cold box, blanket, and her electronic diary. Choosing a likely 
	spot beneath a nearby pine grove, she brought her things over and began to unpack.

	     Lisa was enjoying a relaxed picnic lunch on a gentle, green slope adjacent to 
	the vehicle parking area. It was a warm, pleasant day--cloudless blue sky, sunlight 
	streaming through the pines. Lisa could already feel her spirit beginning to relax.

	     "What a wonderful afternoon! I think I have everything. . .Hmm"
	     Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flew across the hard blue sky. The powerful, 
	thick bolt shot from horizon to horizon passing directly overhead. An earth-shaking 
	thunderclap followed quickly. Then, Lisa noticed an even stranger thing--the sky 
	changed color--from blue to violet, then red, orange, yellow and finally, green. It 
	was all happening so fast, but what was happening? Another bolt of lightning struck 
	across the sky. A wave of queasiness came over her--everything seemed to be swimming 
	and spinning as she lost consciousness.
