Evening, Wisdom and Beauty

But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Kahlil Gibran



Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.
Kahlil Gibran



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



Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
Kahlil Gibran



You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might also pray in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance.
Kahlil Gibran



Be curious, not judgmental.
Walt Whitman

Evening, Wisdom and Beauty




And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
Kahlil Gibran



A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
Kahlil Gibran



Advance, and never halt, for advancing is perfection. Advance and do not fear the thorns in the path, for they draw only corrupt blood.
Kahlil Gibran


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



An eye for an eye, and the whole world would be blind.
Kahlil Gibran

Evening, Wisdom and Beauty

Your friend is your needs answered.
Kahlil Gibran



If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars.
Rabindranath Tagore



Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
Kahlil Gibran



Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.
Kahlil Gibran



Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add colour to my sunset sky.
Rabindranath Tagore

Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



The foliage has been losing its freshness through the month of August, and here and there a yellow leaf shows itself like the first gray hair amidst the locks of a beauty who has seen one season too many. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes



It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship
and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual
affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it
will not be created for years or even generations.
~ Khalil Gibran ~



We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.



Never say goodbye when you still want to try.
Never give up when you still feel you can take it.
Never say you don't love a person when you can't let go.
~ Dons ~



Love me for a reason, let the reason be love.

Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless.
Jamie Paolinetti



I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times, in life after life, in age after age forever.
Rabindranath Tagore



Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.



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



Kahlil Gibran
We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.

What is Art? It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real.
Rabindranath Tagore



You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might also pray in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance.
Kahlil Gibran





Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.
Kahlil Gibran



The touch of an infinite mystery passes over the trivial and the familiar, making it break out into ineffable music... The trees, the stars, and the blue hills ache with a meaning which can never be uttered in words.
Rabindranath Tagore

Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to receive it.”
Rabindranath Tagore quote



Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
Kahlil Gibran



Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man. ~
Rabindranath Tagore

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.
