"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."
~~ by Henry David Thoreau
P.S. I had this "different drummer" quote in my mind for some time, but I didn't learn who the author was and that he was a dedicated Abolitionist until I looked it up online. And I've also been watching the Ken Burns Civil War documentary. Merely another coincidence?
Love Laura-Lee
