My Mother’s Unusual Story


“I have learned this, at least by my experiment. That if one advances confidently in the directionof their dream, endeavoring to live the life they

are imagining, one passes and invisible boundary…all sorts of tings begin to occur that

never otherwise would have occurred. One begins to meet with a success unexpected in common hours. New, more universal more

liberal laws begin to establish themselves around this person, or the old laws are rearranged in

one’s favor, nevertheless, one begins to live with the license of a higher order of being.” -David Thoreau
