From the Old Timer's Desk...a note from an old and
very dear friend "We search the world for truth...We
cull the good...the pure, the beautiful. From graven
stone and written scroll...from all old flower-fields of
the soul; and weary seekers of the best...we come
back laden from our quest...to find that all the sages
said...is in the Book our mothers read.

medicine; but a broken spirit dricth the bones."
