Independence: a by-product of this early departure from home. People dependent on each other for many things, yet capable of going it alone if necessary. Laughter: an integral part of every life; a necessity for survival in an often unfunny world. The final, most lasting result of friend- ship. Solitude: moments set aside for doing whatever feels right, or for doing nothing. As necessary as friendship, solitude fosters the growth of dreams and the realiza- tion that time is passing; precious.

The purpose of all our attempts, successes or failures, was to merge us into some kind of unity through carefree fun, quiet meditation, group participa- tion — belonging.
