Green Pastures


Yes, there is a nirvana. It is in leading your sheep to a green pasture, And in putting your child to sleep, and in writing the last line of your poem.
-Kahlil Gibran

If what's in your dreams wasn't already inside of you how could you even dream it?

to feel free...true freedom


“There are only two kinds of freedom in the world; the freedom of the rich and powerful, and the freedom of the artist and the monk who renounces possessions.”
- Anais Nin

One of my favorite places

There is Poetry Here....
www.brookfarminn.com
The Brookfarm Inn, located in Lenox, Massachusetts is one of my favorite places. If you have the opportunity to attend this poetry event, or stay at the Inn for a weekend, you will LOVE it. Linda and Phil are amazing, intellectual and kind hosts. The kitchen is worth a gourmet look - very cool decorating style - and the poetry, bookshelves and literary knowledge at the inn is outstanding. Visit www.brookfarminn.com

Each morning you are greeted with a quote of the day - the rooms have Hawthorne and the like - copies of books on the nightstands, maps of hiking trails and Kripalu down the street. Here is a personal invitation if you can make it...


Dear Treasured Guests,
We're pleased to invite you to Brook Farm Inn for a special event on SATURDAY, MAY 16, 2009, at 3:00. Read the details below and stay overnight if you can.
- Linda and Phil Halpern, Innkeepers
