The best things in life cannot be gained;
nor can they be purchased.
The best things in life must be given
in order to receive them.
Love, friendship, respect, even a smile
must be given before they are returned.
... perhaps the inverse might also be true: that the "worst" things in life are those which are never yours, even when you've paid through the nose for them! Freedom cannot be purchased yet never comes cheap. If you want to possess and live a full and fulfilled life, you have first to give it away... The most glorious paradox there is! :)) xx
The sunset, a dog's loyalty, a child's smile, a rippling stream, and a butterfly do not require a tit for a tat... I prefer that to expected friendship of strangers.
Questions, unquestioned discoveries, and answers in parable and rhyme…. This collection records a journey starting with a 1960s retrospective and the first man on the moon, moving to a new millennium welcomed in with a terrorist spin, family crises,
