One of Nancy's favorite quotes is:""You are so young, so much before all beginning, and I would like to beg you, dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer. Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet�Sie sind so jung, so vor allem Anfang, und ich möchte Sie, so gut ich es kann, bitten, lieber Herr, Geduld zu haben gegen alles Ungelöste in Ihrem Herzen und zu versuchen, die Fragen selbst liebzuhaben wie verschlossene Stuben und wie Bücher, die in einer sehr fremden Sprache geschrieben sind. Forschen Sie jetzt nicht nach den Antworten, die Ihnen nicht gegeben werden können, weil Sie sie nicht leben könnten. Und es handelt sich darum, alles zu leben. Leben Sie jetzt die Fragen. Vielleicht leben Sie dann allmählich, ohne es zu merken, eines fernen Tages in die Antwort hinein.� R.M.

More about Nancy:"What you see is what you get - I am very honest and outgoing. I lose patience with people who mess around with other people's minds, mine included. I love children's books and hope to write one someday.
I love the ocean, New England, Trakhener and Thoroughbred horses, fall leaves, dawn in the mountains, deep dry snow, and reading in front of the fireplace in winter, or on a hammock under the pine trees in summer, floating on the water.
I think that people and relationships are absolutely the most important things in life. I wish I knew how to put everything that I have to do on auto-pilot so I can be with people. I think that emotions are underrated, or even maligned, when in my opinion they are a person's power.".
