Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



One who seeks no friends is his own enemy.
- Russian Proverb



The time to make friends is before you need them.
- Traditional Proverb



Friendship doubles joy and halves grief.
- Egyptian Proverb



The "Fourth" dimension

Sometimes
Nature teaches.

Some ,
dome shaped,
calling you for namaaz;
Some
tall tower above
a temple
central sanctum
praying
and
rising to the heavens;
A pontiff,
hands outstretched
looking up
beseeching the Lord;

And
way to the right,
a congregation ,
a motley group,
a mixture
of all styles,
so enthused,
that
God, for them,
lies in the Green
of the Earth :
to worship,
preserve,
and protect....

  9. You have some beautiful sky shots this week! And superb quotes. The corollary to the traditional proverb is "begging is not the way to friendship". Love the story about sharing and your sky watch.
