This I Know. . because I learned. . .
This I Know. . . because I learned. . . Only with deeper understanding is there any basis for understanding. ***** To love oneself presumes a selfishness man cannot abide in himself. ***** Yet to be selfish presents an attitude of self acceptance, of tolerance that can only begin to be outward in the…

Love Is Reason Enough . . . . for sisters. . .
I look upon this photo and am grateful that what my life emphasized is factual for me in this moment of time. That what was crucial to our sons’ lives is what I see in their progeny and therefore, mine. When asked when mountains became impossible to climb how to go on, I…

Tomorrow is Father’s Day and this is a late regret to chalk up to a life in ebbtide. But with the head on my shoulders today, I wish there had been times to talk of heart concerns. Life was to be mountains for me to climb and I could have used his hand to hold.…

Everything Teaches. . . . A friend and I discussed how difficult it was for humans not to think we are the most intelligent of beings.
