Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



All our words are but crumbs that fall down from the feast of the mind.
Kahlil Gibran



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



In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
Kahlil Gibran



Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.
Rumi



But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep.
Robert Frost



We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.
Anais Nin

Wonderful set of images, Sylvia!
I especially like the third quote :-)

Lew said...

Beautiful skies and water in your shots! And a delightful post on the dahlias.

As for our snow, this was a record breaker in the DC area. We generally get a major snow storm every 5 or 6 years. This winter we had 3. The 60+ inches here in Frederick was more than the total for the last 5 years.

Very scenic - love that waterfall.

Japa said...

Kahlil Gibran is a favorite. so with Frost. Good words to meditate on. Except for the minute contours of the waves, the seascapes seems perfectly calm and peaceful.

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.
