Soon the child's clear eye is clouded over by ideas and opinions, preconceptions and abstractions. Simple free being becomes encrusted with the burdensome armor of the ego. Not until years later does an instinct come that a vital sense of mystery has been withdrawn. The sun glints through the pines, and the heart is pierced in a moment of beauty and strange pain, like a memory of paradise. After that day, we become seekers.
Peter Matthiessen
Joy is what happens when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.

A huge, huge thank you to everybody who made our fund raiser,La Chocolatada, (for children in Peru) such a success.
A special thank you to Papa Noel who brought along his beautiful little daughter, and promised to come back next year.
