"We often write seldomest to those whom we love the
most. The distance to which I am removed
has given a new value to all I valued before in my country, and the day of my
return will be the happiest I expect to
see in this life……
I find as I grow older
that I love those most whom I loved first.”
[Thomas Jefferson writing from Paris France to his
sister, Mary Jefferson Bolling, July 23, 1787]

I love to collect thoughts. I would love to collect some of yours, if they are mindful and respectable.
