Easy Riding ~
Over the new bridge is easy riding.  Through the village?  Not so much!


Cayuga businesses want you to know that they are OPEN.  Welcoming signs in all the windows. "Come on in!"

O world, thou choosest not the better part!
It is not wisdom to be only wise,
And on the inward vision closes the eyes;
But it is wisdom to believe the heart.
Columbus found a world, and had no chart
Save one that faith deciphered in the skies;
To trust the soul's invincible surmise
Was all his science and his only art.
Our knowledge is a torch of smoky pine
That lights the pathway but one step
That lights the pathway but one step ahead
Across a void of mystery and dread.
Bid, then, the tender light of faith to shine
By which alone the mortal heart is led
Unto the thinking of the thought divine.

~ George Santayana (1863 - 1952) b. in Spain, educated in U.S. Essayist, novelist, poet.
