"There is more in us than we know. If we can be made to see it, perhaps for the rest of our lives, we will be unwilling to settle for less."--Kurt Hahn
What We Are

"The secret of health for mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles...but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly." The Buddha
What We Are Not
263 West does not dispense advice for specific problems. We just present ideas that we hope will be helpful wherever you are and whatever you're doing. There are no religious or mental health professionals associated with 263 West. Our purpose is to offer quotations, thoughts and ideas that might cause an "AH, HA!" moment or that might bring a smile to the face and a recognition that change is possible. While we draw on the writings of all the great world religions, we wish only to point to ideas that might enlighten and smooth the road ahead.

Why "263 WEST"?
263 West is a scenic Virginia byway about two hours west of the busy Washington, DC metro area.

It's a quiet place where people of all ages can get in touch with themselves and return to their daily routines refreshed, encouraged and hopeful. That's the kind of environment you'll find of "263 WEST" the internet radio station. Our music changes as the day changes, but we always keep our mind's eye focused on that special, peaceful place we call "263 West".
