Death is only an horizon

DEATH IS ONLY AN HORIZON, AND AN HORIZON IS ONLY THE LIMIT OF OUR SIGHT
-William Penn

There's no death but a change of worlds only
-unknown

When William Penn left England to get to Pennsylvania, his head was full of visions and hopes for this new Land of Promise "six hundred miles nearer the sun." He wanted to see if he and his fellow Quakers could establish here a new society based on wider freedoms than the Old World knew; and he wanted also to see whether it was true, as he thought, that men and women were better and happier for this freedom. He was in Pennsylvania only three and a half years. 1718, when William Penn died, Pennsylvania, his colony was based on a tradition of religious toleration and freedom under law, fundamental principles of American civil life. Thomas Jefferson called Penn "the greatest law-giver the world has produced."

Beautiful - Bad Pyrmont

by MD2nd

Bad Pyrmont, located in Lower Saxony, is a most lovely town of about 23,000 citizens, and gained its reputation as a fashionable place for princely vacations in the 17th and 18th centuries. The spa of Staatsbad Pyrmont is the fifth loveliest among Europe's famous parks, and provids a marvelous atmosphere particulary during Pyrmont's annual happening of so called "Landpartie". It's a botanical & floral fair that features more than 140 exhibitors and their many of ideas for recreation & lifestyle & cozy home. Also farm boots, coffee bars, bakeries, and other lovely, little groceries provide fantastic goodies of any sort! It's relaxing to linger, marvel, and check out on all the nice things provided. And possibly buy'em. In between are many live shows presented at (for example) Konzertmuschel. Those add lots of fun to the happening of "Landpartie". The sweet & modest looking gals of the "Celtic Spirit" group did an awesome dance show!! Then funny, the "Dancing Dogs" which are real dogs that are trained to dance. Actually, it did seem they had much fun to dance to songs like "Love and Marriage" etc. etc.

The add of the German/Austrian term Bad (=Bath) to a town's name like the add of Bad to the town of Pyrmont, is only then given when the presence of Heilbaeder (=medical spas/thermal baths/fountains) is confirmed. The title Bad (=Bath) ensures that the certain town provides certain medical conditions which are government awarded.
