Quarry Hill will be rejuvenated by openness to the Newcomer
Spring is here early this year, it seems, and it reminds me that we are to have a new summer of people visiting.
Quarry Hill's motto (Irving's saying) has always been "Everything for the sake of the Newcomer." I hope all who live here or plan or hope to live here will remember this, and make new people welcome in their homes and the Farmhouse, etc.
We all need some time on our own, but anyone who believes that they can have an entirely private life in a place like this is probably mistaken.
When we entertain angels unawares, we meet new and wonderful people. This is how all the people who came to live here, with the exception of a few, have come!
Let's remember, and also, visitors, remember that people need time on their own, and that a place like QH has many chores that need doing. If you visit, please check with Brion, Ladybelle, (or anyone, really) to find out what needs doing. Thanks!

A balance between the wish for privacy and the wish to open ourselves to new people can be reached. Nothing has to be absolute!
ReplyDeleteBut I look forward to the coming of the new. This is how we have always been who we are, and how we have survived. Pass it on!
