We head into Corcubion and ano<strong>the</strong>r hotel, where Maria del Mar (Maria of <strong>the</strong><br />

Sea) treats us like royalty, letting us use her main computer to check our emails -- and<br />

she even brought us coffee and toast while we did so!<br />

―A human being … experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated<br />

from <strong>the</strong> rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness … Our task must be to free<br />

ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living<br />

creatures.‖ ~ Albert Einstein<br />

―Three things in life are important: <strong>the</strong> first is to<br />

be kind; <strong>the</strong> second is to be kind; and <strong>the</strong> third is to<br />

be kind.‖ ~ Henry James<br />

―In <strong>the</strong> end, though, maybe we must all give up<br />

trying to pay back <strong>the</strong> people in this world who sustain<br />

our lives. In <strong>the</strong> end, maybe it‘s wiser to surrender<br />

before <strong>the</strong> miraculous scope of human generosity and to<br />

just keep saying thank you, forever and sincerely, for as<br />

long as we have voices.‖ ~ Elizabeth Gilbert<br />
