Evening Words, Wisdom and Beauty



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

Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be.
Kahlil Gibran

Hi there!

I think I'm not poetic enough to understand what Mr. Rabindranath was trying to say but from what I understand even if it's just a little, it was awesome LOL.

Beautiful sky, by the way.

No matter what period of history we live in, there will always be tests and trials for us to learn from. And for this exact reason, everything is always perfect the way it is. There is a different kind of feeling for everyone to explore, even if we can not personally identify with it. Its up to us then what experiences and feelings we want to encounter in life.

Is it Jasmine? Thanks for telling, Arija. I was wondering what the beautiful blossoms were. Thank you, as always, Sylvia, for the esthetic and intellectual pleasures.

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.
