"Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake."
- Henry David Thoreau
The three of us were having conversation after conversation which would inevitably return to the common themes of simplicity, nature, and reimagining our place in the world. Shaun and Brian would meet regularly to discuss books and essays as would Shaun and Richard. Finally, Shaun decided, "We've got to get all three of us together."
This blog and some very strong friendships are the result of those early and now present discussions that strive for awakening, for change when it's necessary, and for reverence of tradition when it's not.
