"Having lived in rural New England all my life, I have had the
opportunity to experience things that others, living elsewhere
in the world, have not. I have seen the burning brilliance of
a Cape Cod sunset, heard the silence of an icy January morning,
tasted the sweet, life-sustaining sap of a Sugar Maple straight
from the tree, and lived amidst the red and orange fireworks
display of autumn. I have always enjoyed living in New England,
and I feel that, although I sometimes take it for granted, the
abundance of nature around me helps give me roots, and a
connection to the natural world."

"It’s never been told to any man and it’s never been told to any woman, and if it finds its destination, a new time will come. We’re not what books and plays say we are. We’re not what advertisements say we are. We’re not in the movies and we’re not on the radio. We’re not what you’re all told and what you think we are: We’re ourselves. And if any man can find one of us he’ll learn why the whole universe was set in motion. And if any man harm any one of us, his soul the only soul he’s got had better be at the bottom of that ocean, and that’s the only way to put it."

"The physical body is the only means our bigher level of eternal consciousness has to communicate with our personality consciousness.

				--Marlo Morgan
				  The Mutant Message Downunder

"Man is most nearly himself when he achieves the seriousness of a child at play."

				--Heraclitus

"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.
