Thank you for your continued support, the Chelsea food collection team at Cambridge CoHousing -- "Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. I use the word "love" here not merely in the personal sense but as a state of being, or a state of grace - not in the infantile American sense of being made happy but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth.” ~James Baldwin in The Fire Next Time
