Those Who Know

A   L   O   H   A  !

" Who angers you 

conquers you. "

Elizabeth Kenny

" We are each of us 

angels 

with only one wing, 

and we can only fly 

by embracing

 one another. "

Lucretius 

Those who speak,

 don't know fully.

Those who know more 

rarely speak,

and then with gentle

humility.

Pity modern ears,

tempered by scorching

sales and

frantic self promotion,

deaf to confident

tranquility.

Words that matter

carry weight,

to be sprinkled like salt,

not a barrage gorging

 the Truth

for profit.

Fashionable Buildings Are Wearing

Buildings, like people,

wear the styles of their 

hopeful youth

through the years.

Some become

obsolescent,

passing from

the scene.

Some are serviceable,

well maintained

and loved.

Some 

Become Landmarks.
