November 28/11

I liked these colourful leaves.  When I saw the picture on my computer I really noticed the new green leaves reaching out from the centre and I thought of us humans.  We age and get older but we also get wiser.  So while we have our outer selves that may appear older, or as I like to think "more colourful", we have more wisdom and love reaching out from the centre of us...our hearts.

When I can look Life in the eyes,
Grown calm and very coldly wise,
Life will have given me the Truth,
And taken in exchange - my youth.
~Sara Teasdale

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest. ~ Confucius
