Hehe, I considered only quoting the final seciton, as it was what I really was touched by; but I thought it would make a little more sense with the extra content

btw: the quote is from the David Cohen book "One Year Off", in which he, his wife and two children take a year off from work and school to tour Planet Earth and her many nations....great read.

In honor of the Disneyland merch thread:
"Americans are fascinated by their own love of shopping. This does not make them unique. It's just that they have more to buy than most other people on the planet. And it's also an affirmation of faith in their country, its prosperity and limitless bounty. They have shops the way that lesser countries have statues."

Some day, in years to come, you will be wrestling with the great temptation, or trembling under the great sorrow of your life. But the real struggle is here, now, in these quiet weeks. Now it is being decided whether, in the day of your supreme sorrow or temptation, you shall miserably fail or gloriously conquer. Character cannot be made except by a steady, long continued process.
- Phillips Brooks

And just because it's fitting considering where I'll be in a couple hours...
