 “The whole problem
 with the world
is that fools
 and fanatics
are always
so certain  
of themselves,
 but wiser people
so full of doubts.”

 Bertrand Russell


















" To love
 another person
 is to see the face 
of God. "

Victor Hugo




















 " Alas,
 the conduct of mankind
is surprising. "

Plautus







                       

 " One must learn
to be silent
just as one
must learn how
to talk. "

Victoria Wolff















" When you can't do something 
truly useful,
 you tend to vent 
the pent up energy 
in something useless
 but available,
 like snappy dressing.  "

Lois McMaster Bujold



















" I might be herding sheep 
next year.  "

Elvis Presley












" It's good to be here. 
At 98,
 it's good to be
 anywhere. "

George Burns

We grow up in a world
and learn about it-
It is OUR world
and there are things
that EVERYBODY knows.


It knocks each of us
for a life loop
when this big solid world
begins to shift
and change
with US in it!

New people come along
who never knew
the "facts" we learned.

They do not know
the pillars
that held up 
OUR sky!
Or know them only
as curiosities,
irrelevant
like us.

Jenny Lind,
Rudy Vallee, 
John Lennon,
Caruso.
Justin Bieber.

All the immortals
at last
grow quaint.

We cannot warn
the young;
some things must just
be lived
and lost.

What a ride?!

YOU
decide.


Thanks for sharing

" It's hard for me to get used to these changing times.
 I can remember when the air was clean 
and sex was dirty.  "

i will NOT bemoan the wide diversity of the nation but i will hate them that use it to fear monger and cause dissent rather than debate.

The Victor Hugo quote is wonderful.

Being married for 114 months and a father for 60, eyes being to open and see.

Please have you all a good Sunday.

So true. What a beautiful post. I think the same thing as I see my children grow older and learn things that I never knew.

Rick said...

Love your clouds - such variety. And a great series of quotes. Gotta love George B. My favorite quote of his, as he was approaching 100: "if I'd known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself !"

Aloha, Cloudia !
