silent thunder Posted September 11, 2016 I freaking love Rilke! So much so, I was planning to name my first daughter after her... Well I never spawned a daughter, but I did find this quote that has been shaking my tree for the last few days... The world is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper. ~Yeats 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thelerner Posted September 22, 2016 It's better to light a candle, than to complain about the darkness my son in college was complaining about his (3) roommates turning on lights when he was in bed. So I sent him an eye mask and wrote: 'Better to blow out a candle than complain about the light'. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silent thunder Posted September 24, 2016 Although I do like that, he really does need a shave and a haircut. No way! Let it go... let it grow baby! I started growing my mane back again last year... it's coming along nicely now. I've been shaved bald for the last twenty years or so, but it's time to regrow the viking and let it flow! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
