A L O H A !
"We can travel a long way
and do many things, but
our deepest happiness is
not born from accumulating
new experiences. -
- It is
born from letting go
of what is unnecessary,
Dawn In Marin County
- and knowing ourselves to
be always at home."

Oh how nice
to begin to feel
At Home.
A new place
is a blank place.
All one's memories
accomplishments
friends
seem left behind.
On a foggy rainy last
November 1st night
we landed here from
Hawaii heat & sun.
Now I know the birds,
and have met in books
the pioneers who gave
this place it's street names
and history.
Miwok, Spanish,
New Englanders;
From Switzerland,
and the Azores
they came.
Now I'm here too,
as Place & I
affect each other.
Wine is ripening on the vines.
Roses bloom in my garden.
This may just work out.
What am I talking about?!
Welcome to my Home.
Another Beautiful Day in Marin!

is unaware.”

This first train depot was the beginning
of “New Town” Novato.
Many commercial buildings were built
along Grant Ave. near the station. *
[Previously the town center was closer to the Novato Creek
where the weekly schooner brought visitors in need of
our legendary healthful climate, and took Novato's excellent
produce down to San Francisco to feed the City.]

for those who can hear it
above all the noise."
