a lot of things attracted me to this place---but it was the view that sealed the deal---and it is the view upon which i meditate each day--sunsets and sunrises of course---tracking the sun's progress as it rises higher in the sky each day---next week, it'll be over the equator for the vernal equinox---somehow, in a way i can not yet describe, seeing horizon to horizon every day is a profound experience

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
john northbrooke, c. 1570
