Evening, Wisdom and Beauty

As many of you know, I will be out of town until Friday, but I have posted Evening Wisdom, Thoughts for each evening. Look forward to reading and commenting on your blogs as soon as I return.



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



falling leaves
hide the path
so quietly
~John Bailey, "Autumn," a haiku year, 2001, as posted on oldgreypoet.com

    Selfish, grave and proud wisdom is not that important when seeing such simply beautiful scenes like these.
