is a time to gather golden moments,
embark upon a sentimental journey,
and enjoy every idle hour."

which makes the heart run over."
John Boswell
From a bedside book at Aunt Sadie's.

"A journey is a person in itself -- no two are alike --
and all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless.
We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip;
a trip takes us."
John Steinbeck
From a bedside book at Aunt Sadie's.

"Help us, O Lord, to take whatever you give
and give whatever you take
with a big smile."

I go a-fishin' in."
Henry David Thoreau
1817 - 1862
