A Bed and Breakfast half-a-block from the Stock Exchange;

Prices and service like those of rural Upstate New York.

Quaint!



But is it real?

Realer than we might think: $107 a night is a price for B&B service in a hotel close to the Market. Upstate rural NY doesn’t do much better.



Could it be more real?

Perhaps not as a cottage but as a room in someone’s apartment close to the Stock Exchange.

The spirit of sharing that is the Internet at its best

Also shows up in time shares, apartment exchanges, and day-to-day room rental in someone’s home, treated like a member of the family–except for the payment.



As life grows more and more civilized,

We see more signs of people behaving with love, kindness, courtesy;

We see more signs of life all around us having the cozy quality of a rural cottage,

More and more plants growing in the midst of asphalt.



We see love and kindness becoming more Universal,

The fundamental way everyone treats everyone.



We certainly have a way to go

But we are doing are best as individuals here and there

To make our world, our Planet Earth,

Into a Home for everyone,

A neighborly neighborhood,

A family,

A community.



Little by little!

Little by little~
