From my own mind, and other sources...........with no logical reason for placement. Random thoughts. Expressions. Sayings. Truisms. Humor. Whatever.

Love is like a violin: it's great to play, but there are strings attached.

To learn how to be good to oneself is often more difficult than to learn how to be good to others.
Sight is a faculty; seeing is an art.
A wise man has old memories and young hopes.
Those people who have heard the worst about us but refuse to believe it are prized friends.

But I would like to end this page on an entirely different note. The following is an Indian Prayer. It came from the Red Cloud Indian School, Pine Ridge, South Dakota. I love the sentiments it conveys........and think that this world would be a lot better place if we all held these wishes in our hearts.
An Indian Prayer
O' Great Spirit,
Whose voice I hear in the winds,
And whose breath gives life to all the world,
hear me! I am small and weak, I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my people.
Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.
I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy - myself.
Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes.
So when life fades, as the fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame.
