Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water. Don't let yourself indulge in vain wishes. ~
Rabindranath Tagore



You have freedom when you're easy in your harness.
Robert Frost



Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost



There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.
Robert Frost



Humankind cannot bear very much reality.
T. S. Eliot



Do you think my mind is maturing late, or simply rotted early?
Ogden Nash

Mine definitely rotted early. LOL. I love the flowers especially the rose :). Have a great day.

You always have the best sunset pictures. All of you picture are great, but I especially love the sunsets!

Sylvia, I talked with Michael (WM parenting Connection) yesterday, and mentioned I joined your blog. He emailed me back last evening and said, he'd have to "get in touch with his girlfriend Sylvia":) I did have a question for you? Is there a way to somehow receive the Evening Wisdom and Beauty via email or Facebook? I (sorry, don't get to check your blog daily), but would love to view your beautiful photos and words daily somehow. I'm very new to doing Facebook, but do check my email daily several times. Just trying to enjoy these daily. They are so inspirational! Thank you for all you do! ><>

Hi Laurie, I don't know about Facebook, but if you'll let me have your email address, I'd be happy to send them to you. You can send it to me at sylviak04@msn.com and that way it'll just be for me to read. I did email Michael and let him know I had heard from you and he thought that was really cool!

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.
