Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it. - Confucius

It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare. -Mark Twain



Wisdom outweighs any wealth. -Sophocles

Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world. - Virgil A. Kraft



Shrugging of
a cold lethargic
winter,
Mrs Rose
and Ms Carnation
in association
with
Madame Dahlia,
meet in
fields
awash
with
the colors of spring...

In
an air
redolent
with the
heady
April perfume
they raise
a Tulip toast
of
blood red wine,
saying
"Cheers!",
to the curious
bees , moths
and butterflies,
trying the crash the party............

The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind.

The most valuable thing I have learned from life is to regret nothing.
- Somerset Maugham



Your key to freedom lies in your power to control your thoughts.



To teach is to touch a life forever.
