Evening Words, Wisdom and Beauty



If your heart is a volcano, how shall you expect flowers to bloom?
Kahlil Gibran



Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.
Kahlil Gibran

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
Kahlil Gibran



Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.
Kahlil Gibran



If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work.
Kahlil Gibran

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.
