QUOTE

Hi There !!

From my earliest days I wanted to know.

Why?

    What?

            Who?

               When?

                   Where?

                          How?

My father used to call me

" Mr. District Attorney"

(after a popular radio drama of  the 40's).


In my teens

I started collecting quotes

that helped me deal with

my life questions.

I'd write each one

 on an index card

and kept pondering it

 all during the day.

The quote was

a wisdom reserve

to be mined.

It gave insight into the mystery

and adventure of life,

sight into the depth,

the innerness of things.



Well, I still collect quotes

finding such wisdom

and guidance in them. 

 With your permission,

I'd like to share a few.

some with you.



Each day for the  next week

please feel free

to select a quote

from the collection that follows here.

Consider writing the quote on a card

and having it with you all day.

May it be a wisdom reserve

 to be mined,

and more importantly,

to be "souled."

Consider it,

ponder,

muse and meditate over it.

in the quiet moments of the day,

between activities,

in the shower, while driving,

making a cup of coffee.



As you do, consider

"What does The Spirit say

to my spirit through these words?"
