We haven't moved quite as much as you, Trudi, though we've lived in eight states in 25 years of marriage. It's not the move itself which is so bad; that's just a few messy weeks to deal with. What I hate is the aftermath. I'm sick to death of being the new kid in town and never want to go through it again.

I cannot make the universe obey me. I cannot make other people conform to my own whims and fancies. I cannot make even my own body obey me.

Thomas Merton



Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all.

Emily Dickinson
