" Humility does not mean
thinking less of yourself
than of other people,
nor does it mean
having a low opinion
of your own gifts.
It means freedom
from thinking about
yourself
at all. "
William Temple
" It wasn't until quite late in life
that I discovered
how easy it is
to say
"I don't know!"
Somerset Maugham
" Too many people
overvalue what they are not
and undervalue
what they
are. "
Malcolm S. Forbes
" All the birds have flown up and gone;
A lonely cloud floats leisurely by.
We never tire of looking at each other -
Only the mountain and I. "

The marshes
and the margins
have ever been
my comfort zone.
Queen of Uplift
because I need it
most.
Moving towards the
Center
Tempting-
-but too soon
swamped
by quicksand
of intransigence.
So back to the marshes
the margins;
No flags will half-staff
when I pass.
But I've known
Sunshine and
the Gold of Your
Friendship -
Treasure indeed
for the voyage
ahead.
Thank you for being TREASURE!
