Kheaty Kate has done another repost - sorry, people, but I am running hard to nowhere at the mo... hope tis better than nuthin, though! :))


BEAUTIFUL MIND


Knowledge
without understanding
is dead
and hard-edged as stone:
unfeeling,
unseeing,
unyielding.

Understanding
applied with feeling
has wisdom's true beauty
and a touch
as soft as
love itself.

Wisdom
is to be valued
more than beauty
that fades,
or gold
that diminishes
the more it is spent.

The love of wisdom
forever grows
a gracious bounty
that overflows
incessantly
to bless the lives
of many.

A beautiful mind
casts rainbows
into the skies
of others,
colouring their heavens
with an iridescent treasure;
bestowing
priceless wealth
beneath their feet.

An alluring jewel of stunning spiritual philosophy dangling like a tiny moon from a necklace of humility. In other words: gorgeous.

Kate - This one is worthy of being reposted. Its message should be posted somewhere on this site, so we can click to it - at least once daily. Enjoyed and filed away the message therein - one we each can use.
Question. Do you and your husband reside in Canada? Your word, "coloring," is spelled with a ;
'u' - colouring, which prompts the question. Been in Canada several times, and love it more each trip. Cheers 'n chin up! - Bill
