ABOVE: Zen's circle of life; what goes around, comes around, essentially...

Not something I have of much, Though with it I try to stay in touch, Dogs have a greater wisdom than does man, Seems to depend upon the length of your life span… Does anyone truly from life learn, Or do we wait till we’re close to the hell fires that burn, Knowledge and wisdom that I could have gleaned from my dad, I did not take advantage of, in other words I spurned… I now listen to my elders, Though I am not too far away from them, Age is relative it is said, learn from it, As if we are alive only but once, We will need when dead to not be a dunce… © ed ? 2/6/09

it's called maturation Ed. Someone tried to tell me age didn't make no difference in maturity and learning. I reminded them that we have grades 1 through 12 to learn, you can't expect a 5th grader to know what a 12 grader knows

I love your honesty Ed! I had five older sisters and brothers that I felt driven to keep up with;-) I believe wisdom is given only by God!

I always appreciate your philosophical point of view, Ed. It must come from those long heart to heart conversations with Rufuz (LOL). Thank you, friend. Love and peace from Canada,

Well done. At my age the frightening thing is that some people are foolish enough to think that I'm wise.
