Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.

El Centro de la Cultura
This page was last updated: January 6, 2012
El Centro de la Cultura (Family Crisis Center of the Big Bend) is a non-profit community assistance center located next to the Terlingua Store only yards away from a cliff. One of the old main mine shafts is just forty feet away.
The Center staffs a highly qualified and experienced counselor and is open every day to serve the needs of the Terlingua area.
There is a large meeting room, a huge kitchen with a walk in reefer, a fully equipped office with Wi-Fi Internet access, private counseling room, and a media room where one can rent a movie for a dollar, and watch it there! They have "old-timey modern" restrooms...with running water even!

To do something, however small, to make others happier and better, is the highest ambition, the most elevating hope, which can inspire a human being.
- Sir John Lubbock, Lord Avebury
First, do no harm. Stop the violence. Quit worrying. Love and help one another. Be very, very happy.
