The Etymology Of Incandescence Is INCANDESCERE, Latin For Becoming White.

Greetings to a sweet young lady. If the wind ever blows you to our neck of the woods, please let me know. If you happen to be here after Thanksgiving, I will gladly show you where this glorious tree is so that you can take some shots of it if you wish. The Broadmoor Hotel where the tree is located is truly a national treasure. Built in 1922, it is by far the most elegant hotel I've ever seen. So, come by and see us. We would love to have you.

I share your love of Winter or Christmas, Dr. Gehr, nor for religious reasons, of course. I have no religious affiliation. For me, Winter, more than any other time of the year, is a season of introspection and reflection. As long as I can remember, even as a teenager, I have been into contemplative tradition exemplified by luminaries such as the 14th century German mystic, Meister Eckhart, the American philosopher, William James, the Greek Scholar, Dionysus, the Areopogyte, and so on.

I thank you, Leif. It's great to hear from you again. I'm grateful that you kept in touch.

What a lovely surprise to hear from you again, my lady. Your interest in my work is much appreciated.
