The Limit Does Not Exist

You know, there’s a particular line in Thoreau’s “Walden” where it says,

“I do not wish to be anymore busy with my hand than is necessary. My head is hands and feet. I feel all my best faculties concentrated in it.”

While most people believe that the city life can bring many opportunities for jobs and a higher lifestyle, Dr. Bonney MacDonald believes that one can settle anywhere and still have open opportunities. The Texas Panhandle gave her the chance to put forth and distribute the knowledge and skills she’s obtained into her students and colleagues while continuing to expand her horizons to this day.
