Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.
Langston Hughes



Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you.
Langston Hughes



Television is a medium of entertainment which permits millions of people to listen to the same joke at the same time, and yet remain lonesome.
T. S. Eliot



Always do what you are afraid to do.
Ralph Waldo Emerson



The Formula One
streak
across the skies
as
The One In-Charge
sets up
a night here,
a day there,
a cloudy moment
for a burning day,
occasional
monsoon leaks
elsewhere,
as he hits
some dark
loaded clouds.

Energy Spent,
foot off the
world accelerator,
He relaxes,
somewhere over
Seattle,
looks down
through
the white exhaust ,
spots someone,
with a camera
and says,
"Sylvia,
well , I never ....."

Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.

I enjoyed each of your quotes as much as I enjoyed your pictures. The clouds are quite striking!

Oh, Sylvia, to have your own poet! It's all wonderful.
And yes, overcoming fear is the way we grow, and just as there's always something to fear, we can continue to overcome, and become.

Love the quotes - as usual, there are one or two that 'speak' to me. There are two about fear there that do so. Also I love the post for you from Ugich Konitari - that's great!

The one about television by T S Eliot! LOL! That's so true.

Langston Hughes - a way with words like no other.

And defeat by fear - so sadly true.

A wonderful way to start the morning Sylvia - the lavender fields are amazing and the cove photo reminds me of Tamales Bay north of San Francisco where I grew up. Great quotes too!

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.
