RealTalker Extends Winter Solstice Greetings;Is REALTOR®/Thinker/Poet

I'm liking those Tucson REALTORS^® more and more. RealTalker Carol Garr offered the following thoughts to the list serv community today:

"Conservation to save money is a good thing. Conservation for the sake of having resources left for future generations is even more important. The product (land) we sell is finite, and its quality is fragile. This beautiful Earth we live on is, for the present day, the only home humanity has, and we share it with many other forms of life. Each of us must be responsible stewards in order to have anything of value left for those generations who would follow us. We have many choices of how to do this, whether saving gas, recycling, or other opportunities that arise. As we approach the numerous celebrations of enduring or returning light, may we reflect on how we can each be a candle in the darkness, if only we will."

I clicked the link to her web site and found the following gem:

A House, A Home, A Haven

A nest where the heart lives,
One's very own place in the world,
A family's roots and memories or
receptacle of shattered hopes,
Cobwebs of the distant past or
the magic of a budding dream,

A home can be these, and more.
Not merely sticks and bricks
and building blocks,
But feelings, finances, plans,
and futures.

A monument on a foundation,
And worthy of respect and love.
Essence of the American dream.
