Judge nothing, you will be happy. Forgive everything, you will be happier. Love everything, you will be happiest. --Jack Kerouac

 But yet, in the airy realm of dreams

Where all my riches be,
I enter into the heritage
That is else denied to me;
I have but to close my eyes to find
The Eden I never saw...
~Elizabeth Anne Chase Akers Allen
