    “In the course of twenty crowded years one parts with many illusions. I did not wish to lose the early ones. Some memories are realities, and are better than anything that can ever happen to one again.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    “The vast silence of Buddha overtakes
    and overrules the oncoming roar
