" Be not the slave
 of your own past. 

Plunge into 
the sublime seas,
 dive deep 
and swim far, 

so you shall come back
 with self-respect, 
with new power, 

with an advanced experience
 that shall explain

 and overlook

 the old."
                 Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Things turn out best 

for the people 

who make the best

 out of the way

 things turn out. "

                             Art Linkletter

Sounds trivial

but deeply true

"Nothing

 is particularly hard

 if 

you divide it

 into small jobs. "

                       Henry Ford

This truth got me through

university . . . . and 

Life!

" When a noble life 

has prepared old age, 

it reveals not decline

but immortality's

 first days. "

                               Germaine De Stael

Threes & thirds

describe something,

ARE something

deep & fundamental.

The stool will not stand

without a third leg.

There is no Story

without

Beginning, Middle

& End.

Till age Thirty

we become/mold

 ourselves,

prove ourselves

in the becoming,

acquire Skills

and Lessons.

From Thirty

to Sixty

we mate, create,

most reproduce,

raise young,

make family,

community and

continue to learn

to ripen;

We peak 

physically

build wealth

and regrets.

From Sixty on

we synthesize,

we realize

our themes &

meanings:

the Truth about 

ourselves

and our experience.

Confirmations 

& Surprises.

Time to meditate

to dream,

to fully Feel

the Wonder of

Being Alive,

yea 

in the shadows

of eternity.

And if we are 

Lucky

we find one last boon

the chance to

Love

and Be Loved,

through person,

pet,

and planet.

Amen?

Thanks for visiting

for hanging here!

" Generally, 

by the time you are real, 

most of your hair 

has been loved off, 

and your eyes drop out 

and you get loose 

in the joints 

and very shabby. 

But these things 

don’t matter at all, 

because once you are

 real 

you can’t be ugly, 

except to people 

who don’t understand."
