Ability and Art

A L O H A From Honolulu!

For everything you have missed,
you have gained something else...
  Ralph Waldo Emerson





Praise and blame, gain
and loss, pleasure and sorrow
come and go like the wind.
To be happy, rest like a giant tree
in the midst of them all.
     Buddha




Ordinary riches can be stolen,
real riches cannot.
In your soul are
infinitely precious things
that cannot be taken from you.
Oscar Wilde




Wealth is the ability to
fully experience life Henry David Thoreau


One cannot get protection
from wealth nor education.
The only factor that can give
protection from the destructive
effects of anger and hatred is the
practice of tolerance and patience. Dalai Lama





The art of living is to
know how to
grow old gracefully.
Montaigne

    Up at 3:30 after a few hours sleep, I am not sure that I am aging gracefully. 😊

    I need a bucket truck to get to some of the limbs that need trimming on my trees.
