When I was on route to Reyjkavik, I met a 15-year-old German boy, Arndt who was traveling with his family. He had just visited Florida for the first time and loved it. He was filled with enthusiasm. His father looked like an academic version of the lead singer of Iron & Wine. Lovely people. I told him about my book in progress. He told me about magma. Great imagination. It was one of the best conversations in my life. I heard from him today. : )
So now when I write about magma, I must do it well. For Arndt with his lovely imagination and gift for poetry.
