CURRENT MISSION

being patient but trying not to wait

PHILOSOPHY

a work in progress

a few quotes that I've adopted from others:

"Now I confess to being a nature lover. Of course I am a nature lover -only a fool could not be- nature being our mother, our father, our bride, our wife, our source of life, sustenance of all well-being, final repository of our bones."
-Edward Abbey

"People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars; and they pass by themselves without wondering."
-St. Augustine
