James Baldwin
“Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. I use the word "love" here not merely in the personal sense but as a state of being, or a state of grace - not in the infantile American sense of being made happy but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth.”
― James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time

Cristina Hi Rachel!!

Hope all is well. I just got back from Colorado. We camped in the mountains. We had a great time. Now, I'm just looking forward to having my kids back and then school start. Yikes!
