Elders' Corner
Monday, 06 May 2013 09:38
Nothing you write if you hope to be any good, ever comes out as you first hoped for.
Life is like a boxing ring. You can’t really learn the ropes until you’ve been out on them a few times. People are in so much of a rush. Like a turtle you should slow down and see through what you are doing.

Like the owl, choose wise what your heart has to remember from what they did in the past.
