The falcon was bigger than I expected...
By: Karen Martin, Montpelier VT
The falcon was bigger than I expected, but surprisingly light on my arm. He sat composed, orange and amber feathers held tightly by his side. We carefully removed the hood, and I’ll never forget those flashing bright eyes staring directly into mine. On cue we released him and he flew fast and high. Moments later, with a simple movement of my arm this magnificent bird descended like a shot and resumed his perch next to me.
Once a year this is home to me...
By: Chris Jetko, New York NY
Once a year this is home to me. The only sound the soft rippling of the water and the melodies of the birds in the trees. Here, sheltered from the cares of the world, lost in complete tranquility, I rhythmically cast to where the stream is calm. But, whether the fish bite or not, I’ve already found what I’m looking for.
No Ordinary Meeting...
By: Larry Mitsch, Newark NJ
This was to be no ordinary meeting. Everyone from the Division Head down was in attendance as we sought to plan out a strategy for the year ahead. Arriving at The Equinox, we were immediately taken in by the atmosphere, starting with stunning vistas and clean, crisp mountain air, contributing to a climate of clear thinking and unencumbered energy. The first session was a great success, and as we took a break my co-workers headed out to the golf course, hiked wooded trails, and I enjoyed the unforgettable experience of the off-road driving school. Relationships were strengthened and new and lasting friendships were established. We left not just with fresh ideas, but with a whole new vision for the company.
My wedding at the Equinox...
By: Sarah Burton, Westchester CT
My wedding at the Equinox was more extraordinary than I ever could have imagined. We walked the winding garden path, my father and I arm in arm. Around us all was green and bursting with colorful flowers. As the string quartet began the first strains of the wedding march we entered an intimate grove of trees, an assembly of family and friends lining the way. I squeezed my father’s arm tighter, overcome with emotion, and while the sight of the pale green mountains beyond was extraordinary, all I could see was my waiting beloved. As we said our final vows, the gentle rustling of the leaves mingled with the applause, and I realized that a single moment truly can last forever.
