Bodega Bay<\/strong>
\nI<\/p>\n

“Some people do not have to search,
\nthey find their niche early in life and rest there, seemingly contented and resigned.
\nThey do not seem to ask much of life,
\nsometimes they do not seem to take it seriously.
\nAt times I envy them,
\nbut usually I do not understand them.
\nseldom do they understand me.<\/em><\/p>\n

I am one of the searchers.
\nThere are, I believe, millions of us.
\nWe are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life,
\nhoping to uncover its ultimate secret.
\nWe continue to explore ourselves,
\nhoping to understand.<\/p>\n

We like to walk along the beach,
\nwe are drawn by the ocean,
\ntaken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty.
\nWe like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well.<\/p>\n

Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter.
\nTo share our sadness with the one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know -unless it is to share our laughter.<\/p>\n

We searchers are ambitious only for life itself,
\nfor everything beautiful it can provide.
\nMost of all we want to love and be loved.
\nWe want to live in a relationship that will not impede
\nour wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls.<\/p>\n

We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.
\nWe are wanderers, dreamers and lovers,
\nlonely souls who dare ask of life everything good and
\nbeautiful.”<\/p>\n
