which if it remains does not exert on us a culpable attraction? Or must we, leaning over the deck and watching the shores glide by, move forever onward?” André Gide, Urien’s Voyage Yesterday's house turned out to be a bust!

If we make our goal to live a life of compassion and unconditional love,

then the world will indeed become a garden where all kinds of flowers can bloom and grow. Elisabeth Kuebler-Ross I have found another home in the area I would like to live!
