“All we who ask too much and have a dimension too many could not contrive to live at all if there were not another air to breathe outside the air of this world” - Hermann Hesse.
Exploration of the world and the mind are by far the greatest of joys in life that have driven humans for better or worse toward our future.
“Three weeks and a Christmas race later, we sat on the plane to Boston. Vic had fallen asleep on Anne. I had a wine and watched the sunset that we seemed to chase across The Atlantic. I had never been fond of the concept of flying in an airplane, but I treasured the experience of being above the clouds. Up here, there was peace and godsend scenery. Clarity and perspective that was hard to come about elsewhere.”
