“The Bushmen in the Kalahari Desert talk about the two "hungers". There is the Great Hunger and there is the Little Hunger. The Little Hunger wants food for the belly; but the Great Hunger, the greatest hunger of all, is the hunger for meaning...

There is ultimately only one thing that makes human beings deeply and profoundly bitter, and that is to have thrust upon them a life without meaning.

There is nothing wrong in searching for happiness. But of far more comfort to the soul is something greater than happiness or unhappiness, and that is meaning.

Because meaning transfigures all. Once what you are doing has for you meaning, it is irrelevant whether you're happy or unhappy. You are content - you are not alone, in your Spirit - you belong.” - Laurens van der Post

Hello to all of the Nordlaw Lodge face book followers.. It has been a long time since I have posted anything.. By now I know a lot of you know that the lodge has been sold. Norldaw Lodge is now Nordlaw Cottages.. There is a public meeting being held tomorrow night at the Tay Valley township municipal office, 7pm. I would encourage all who can make it to come out and meet the new owners and see how they plan to re-develop the property. I'm sorry for such short notice. I had hoped to be able to post a picture of the proposed site plan, But it is too big to post.. Thank you and I look forward to see you tomorrow night.

Hello to all our Nordlaw Family and friends near and far. It is breaking my heart to notify everyone that at this time it does not look like we will be able to open up the lodge for this season. We wish to THANK each and every one of our guests and lake customers for all of your support over the 55 plus years, and for the honour of welcoming you to our docks and through our doors. Thank you for sharing your lives and vacation with us. You have not just been guests you have all been a part of our family. We have over the past few weeks hoped, prayed and tried everything we could think of to continue serving you but the final straw was and still is this year’s high water/flooding. We are still trying to resolve the issues and honour the remaining season’s reservations and we are doing all we can to get the marina up and running. But at this time it does not look good. Please call Patti to arrange for your deposits to be returned 613 273 7295. And please feel free to email me with any further question. Once again we are truly sorry.
