To have that gratitude 

well out from deep 

within you and pour 

out in waves. -

Young man looks ahead

Old man looks back

The moment, 

a shiny penny,

Rolls unnoticed

"Nature's peace will flow 
into you as sunshine 
flows into trees. 
The winds will blow 
their own freshness 
into you, and the 
storms their energy, 
while cares will drop off 
like autumn leaves."

"I have the world's largest 

collection of seashells. 

I keep it on all the 

beaches of the world... 

perhaps you've seen it."

"Give fools their gold, 

and knaves their power;

let fortune's bubbles rise and fall;

who sows a field,

or trains a flower, or plants a tree,

is more than all."

 "Olompali was a high status residence and 

permanent hub of the MIWOK community.

The Olompali community or tribelet once

comprised 25 square miles of territory,

 and supported a number of 

permanent and semi-permanent 

villages within this territory."

And so I learn a

new history,

new names, new

places.

Glad you came along
