dont text and drive

from watercolor sketch book

********************** 

 at this time there were only 

2 cars in all of ohio

the drivers crashed into each other

true story

**************************

im against talking on the phone  while driving as well .

when you are driving a car then drive the car 

when cars crash there is little warning if any at all...

and when it is over ones life is sometimes changed or .....

sometimes taken away.....

The Metamorphosis of Wisdom

Wisdom is that which makes a vessel into a teacup when it is filled with tea, a sauce dish when it is filled with sauce, a rice bowl when it is filled with rice, and a medicine pot when it is filled with medicine. There is no set method in the functioning of this wisdom. It is simply that which knows how to utilize things according to the case at hand.

–Kusan Sunim

___________________________

wisdom is not so much learned as it is aquired. that is why it is so associated with age. wise people seem to be older people. this though is not necessarily true however and wisdom is not automatically aquired with age. we must open our hearts and minds.

i dont like to feel the need to compare  my lot to someone elses misfortune in order to feel grateful
and i try not to ever do that.......i am a fortunate person on its on accord.......
if however you feel the need too do so then see time magazines 100 photos from 2014 .........
they arent all negative but plenty of them are.......
holy cow ....yesterday a near disaster....when i went to get the dog pack in from their yard.....the puppy..fairmont...snuck between ebbie and bridgette and took off......i got in the jeep and searched high and low to no avail........i had to decide that she might just come back home knowing where her bed and food are.....about an hour later ebbie and bridgette started barking in the house....i looked out front and on the front porch was the scoundrel and the dog from up the street. ill be happy when she learns to come straight to the back door when i get them in.......all is well now.....

"imagine that a boat floats along a river. imagine that those who have sat by the oars and rowed tirelessly have stopped and gone ashore; and that the travellers who remain in the boat do not bother to take up the oars and push the  boat further, but think that it will travel by itself,as before, into the future.
life has no meaning without purpose"
