"Lean-Two"

The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode. - Thoreau

we took comfort, refuge and shelter in the lean-to of each other's company

not realizing that we'd laid the foundation for a mansion

Author's Note

"Wealth will not buy a man a home in nature-house nor farm there. The man of business does not by his business earn a residence in nature, but is denaturalized rather. I come to my solitary woodland walk as the homesick go home. I thus dispose of the superfluous and see things as they are, grand and beautiful." - Thoreau

Again your brilliant mind hits. if people come together in harmony wouldn't that build a mansion? the mortal mansion is built for this world, the immortal mansion is built for all worlds, timelessly...

[Pete]

thank you lightsong. so true what you say. an immortal mansion is the goal. where love exists, all is on solid ground.

“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them.” - Thoreau
