Evening Words, Wisdom and Beauty


The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.

Kahlil Gibran

There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.

Kahlil Gibran

The lilacs are almost ready to burst into bloom!

    Our lilacs are just barely beginning to leaf out. But everything is truly on its way.

    Lilacs certainly are the markers of spring's presence! I love the heady scent of them and yours reminded me of this.

    Those are very inspiring quotes...mental note to self to come back later and write them down (I have to rush off to class now!)

    Good morning Sylvia,

    I fell asleep last night watching the Cubs/Astros game (I'm a baseball fan). I just discovered the Cubs lost 3-2 in extra innings.

    OK, I've completed my own reboot routine and I'm ready to start a new day.

    I probably say this every time I visit but I just love the thoughtful quotes and pics you post for the community.

    Thank you,

    U

    Lilacs, my favourite! One day I want to have a garden full of them. If only they lasted longer.

    I love your first quote: funny I just wrote a piece on that theme and the quote sums it up beautifully.

    I give up! When I get back from vacation, I've got to pull out some old Gibran books and re-read them.

    Oooooo. I can't decide if I loved the sky picture more or the lilac bush more. Lilacs are my all time favorite spring flower. I bury my nose deep in them and inhale full !!!
