Evening Wisdom, Thoughts and Beauty



The cure for anything is salt water - sweat, tears, or the sea. ~Isak Dinesen



Never a ship sails out of the bay
But carries my heart as a stowaway.
~Roselle Mercier Montgomery, The Stowaway



How strange that Nature does not knock, and yet does not intrude! ~Emily Dickinson, letter to Mrs. J.S. Cooper, 1880

I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in. ~George Washington Carver



Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul. ~John Muir

What would we do without nature's beauty? It makes life worth living.

Salt water cures everything? That´s why that expensive medicine tasted so bad the other day...

Grayquill said...

Great pics. Did you take those all yourself? Hmmm...I like the positive feeling of your blog.
I grow weary of all the negative. You lift me up this evening. Thanks!

You're pictures are always so beautiful and I love them all, but your quotes today just spoke so clearly to me. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

I'd never thought about the curative properties of salt water before, but hey...there's truth there!

All those quotes are wonderful, the photos too: Thanks Sylvia!

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.
