Evening Words, Wisdom and Beauty



Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.
Rachel Carson



It is a wholesome and necessary thing for us to turn again to the earth and in the contemplation of her beauties to know of wonder and humility.
Rachel Carson



If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.
Buddha



To be aware of a single shortcoming in oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in someone else.
H. H. the Dalai Lama

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
