Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



I would believe only in a God that knows how to dance. ~Friedrich Nietzsche



Kids: they dance before they learn there is anything that isn't music. ~William Stafford



There are no foolish questions, and no man becomes a fool until he has stopped asking questions. ~Charles Proteus Steinmetz



The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder. ~Ralph W. Sockman



Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room. ~Kurt Vonnegut



Poetry is to prose as dancing is to walking. ~John Wain

These are so awesome. I so live by asking questions. How in the hell does one learn if you don't ask. Great pictures :)

All those beautiful sights make me want to dance. And maybe sing a little, too.

Sylvia I love these quotes! Stafford's reminds me of my youngest daughter, who dances all the time with or without music; it's the most beautiful and the funniest thing, at the same time! She dances like one of the Peanuts used to, with her arms straight out in front of her ROFL
What a gift.

As usual I enjoyed the quote. I haven't thought much about Nietzsche for many years and understood so little of Also Sprach Zarathustra, which I was required to read in grad school. A "dancing" this-world God was to show the trad. Christian God was obsolete and dead.

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.
