will encounter storms; you may be wrecked. But in the long run, the
universe is on the side of those who trust their own minds, value
supremely their own experiences, and dare to sail under their own, true
colors."

Connections, connections. Yesterday, I received a very special gift
from a dear woman and I sat to read it tonight. It's about William
Copperthwaite, a man that believed in living simply and close to the
earth. His work is so inspirational to me.
Anyway, the above quote made me think of the opening quote in the book:

"The main thrust of my work is not simple living--not yurt design, not
social change, although each of these is important and receives large
blocks of my time. But they are not central. My central concern is
encouragement--encouraging people to seek, to experiment, to plan, to
create, and to dream. If enough people do this we will find a better
way."

The book is titled "A Handmade Life" with photographs by Peter Forbes.
Awesome stuff.:)
