Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



Too often we... enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought. ~John F. Kennedy



In every real man a child is hidden that wants to play. ~Friedrich Nietzsche



Adults are obsolete children. ~Dr. Seuss



One of the virtues of being very young is that you don't let the facts get in the way of your imagination. ~Sam Levenson



Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. ~Mark Twain



Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. ~Samuel Ullman

    Thanks as usual for all your support. Your blog brought me much comfort tonight. I leave Brazil on Tuesday and I am in for some tough traveling.

    If we discard the notions of the mind, we are only left with the experience of the Moment which is beyond age and time. We are happy when the mind is gratified. We find joy when we feel directly from the Heart.

    Catching up in my reader this morning ... enjoying all your photos and quotes (laughed aloud at Dr. Seuss) and want to remember from one of your previous 'Evening Wisdom' posts ...

    "It is only our own thoughts that hurt us and hold us back." Dr. Lee Jampolsky

    Hope you're having a delightful day!
    Hugs and blessings,

    I love these beautiful shots of the sky. What are the purple flowers. I don't know much about flowers at all, but they look a little like lavender. They are beautiful!
