Open our minds to absorb all we can.Searching each day for something new.


Poem Artwork

 Traveling life’s many roads

Heeding my inner ambitions and woes

I resist the annoying occurrence of boredom

Reading all that there is within my grasp

Surrounding myself with a thirst for knowledge

Traveling from the future into the past

.

Forming a basis for myself to live

On what road I have chosen as mine

Remembering that all will not be rosy and kind

.

Knowing that there will be ups and downs

Not letting them get in my way to success

Over the mountains I shall pass

With a feeling of inner happiness

Letting my inner self be made known

Even when I am plodding through

Down long and dangerous roads by myself

Getting up and seeing things through

Every opportunity I shall take with joy

Yes I think we are all having a thirst for knowledge these days-- I have been reading several books each day-- one chapter at a time

Nowadays especially there is every kind of knowledge available at our fingertips, and we can learn much and be reassured by the lessons of individuals from the past...and like you, I have a real thirst for knowledge....
However on a beautiful blue-skied day, with blossom floating gently on our heads, it is bliss to let it all go, and just revel in the fantastic now....

Nice thoughts, Kathleen. But I am reminded of the fellow who said "When you're up to your eyeballs in alligators, it's kinda hard to remember your objective is to drain the swamp." :)
