Kenneth's favorite quotes

"No matter of difference in the world is worth or condones hatred, hostility, pride...Bigotry is humanity's most dangerous enemy.
Be tolerant. Accept and love all peoples. Be beautiful to all.
Hate is poisonous. Anyone who teaches a child bigotry is a monster."
— Dharma, son of righteousness

"To show a child what has once delighted you, to find the child's delight added to your own, so that there is now a double delight seen in the glow of trust and affection, this is happiness."
J.B. Priestley

""Nothing is falser than people's preconceptions and ready-made opinions; nothing is sillier than their sham morality..."
Petronius (The Satyricon)

"What I really hoped for, no doubt, was to come upon one of those lives which begin nowhere, which lead us through marshes and salt flats, trickling away, seemingly without plan, purpose or goal, and suddenly emerge, gushing like geysers, and never cease gushing, even in death."
Henry Miller (Nexus)

"When we are motivated by compassion and wisdom, the results of our actions benefit everyone, not just our individual selves or some immediate convenience. When we are able to recognize and forgive ignorant actions of the past, we gain strength to constructively solve the problems of the present."
The Dalai Lama

640559 Hi Kenneth!
I am considering moving to Portland. I want to start an artist/ holistic/yoga/massage space. How do you think that would go over in a place like PDX? I think that having the art element makes it fairly unique. I live in Bellingham right now and recently came through. I always thought I would have it in the woods....but Portland might just be funky enough. Whst do you think? or do you have any other locations in mind?
