We Who Think and Feel Together

A  L  O  H  A !
Invest an Enlarging Click on Mountains *

“ The world is so empty
 if one thinks only of 
mountains, rivers & 
cities; 
but to know someone 
who thinks & feels 
with us, & 
who, though distant, 
is close to us 
in spirit, 
this makes the earth 
for us 
an 
inhabited garden.” 
                       Goethe
