“We are strangers and exiles here. I feel it now more certainly than ever—and the only home a man ever has on earth, the only moment when he escapes from the prisms of loneliness, is when he enters into the heart of another person. In all the enormous darkness of living and dying, I see these brave little lights go up—the only hope and reason for it all … I believe in love, and in its power to redeem and save our lives.”—Thomas Wolfe
Redemption,
through every course,
is a loving wake
to ports unrivaled.
