Accept in an
unruffled spirit that
which is inevitable.
Seneca
I’ve suffered a great
many catastrophes
in my life.
Most of them
never happened.
Mark Twain
Are Railings Little Fences?
With lies you may
go ahead in the world,
but you can never go back.
Russian Proverb
One may study
calligraphy at eighty.
Japanese Proverb
We can keep our eyes open,
We can and should find ways to help.
Voting matters most of all!
But sacrificing our peace of mind
is useless idolatry, as if giving up our
calm well-being can somehow send it
where needed.
Silly when looked at that way.
Rest your anchor in your values.
Sure, anchors wiggle in the current
sometimes, but if yours
is not holding, you may need
to plant it deeper,
perhaps in a slightly
different place.
Be a holder of the Right.
Hold it quiet and high.
Don't squabble
with squabblers.
It's all they have.
Refuse to play.
But set your eyes
on the rising
better day.
Rededicate yourself to
YOUR passionate quests.

ReplyDeleteI couldn't live in the building with all the stairs. I'm afraid of heights. I might make to the second floor, but that would be a stretch. - Margy
