WE'RE BACK!

"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."
---Little Gidding, Four Quartets, T. S. Eliot

Back from a two-week respite, we have yet to steady our sea-legs from those cruises on The Allure and the Disney's DreamWorld.

How was it? Apart from the epigraph above, in the poet's words: "...in the stillness/ Between two waves of the sea./ Quick now, here, now, always---/A condition of complete simplicity."
