Some people have a wonderful capacity to appreciate again and again, freshly and naively, the basic goods of life, with awe, pleasure, wonder, and even ecstasy.
Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.
About Me
Yoli
I was a fencer for many years. Late in life I would become a mother. China allowed me my three beloved children. Parenting in the middle ages, never occured to me. It has turned out to be, the best decision of my life, and my greatest joy. We are currently waiting for travel approval from China, for our daughter Paloma.

“It has been my experience that whenever one human being reaches out to another in compassion, a bridge is built. A bridge which leads out of despair, into the light of hope and the possibility that tomorrow will hold a few less tears than yesterday” ~Dr. Maithri Goonetilleke
Make A Stand
"No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite." - Nelson Mandela
