Genesis of Chapter 2426

Dear Travelers
I miss seeing you and taking you on day-trips. In time they will resume and we will be able to share  person-to-person and have fun again.
For the time being here are some thoughts that invite us to think about the nature of true happiness.
“Rivers do not drink their water. Trees do not eat their fruit. The sun does not shine for its own. Flowers do not spread their scent for themselves. They live for others. It is the rule of Nature. Life is beautiful when you are happy, however life is much better when others are happy because of you. Our nature is to be of service. He who does not live to serve, he does not serve to live.” Israelmore Avivor
Be well and keep on smiling!
