Postcard from Up North

If each man or woman could understand that every other human life is as full of sorrows, or joys, or base temptations, as full of heartaches and of remorse as his own…how much kinder, how much gentler he would be. ~ William Allen White

    Thank you for the pictures. I do not get Up North as often as I would like. All of the memories I have from Up North are wonderful. You really make my day.

    ” Holding so gently
    Sadly, warmly—close to heart:
    One day I will die.
    How I wish to live fully—
    Awake, and completely kind.”

    Beautiful, your photo!

      Awake and completely kind–this is what it’s all about. Thank you Paula, as always.
