hmmm, rather like a Confucious saying

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

VAS ~

OMG Just as your reply came in, I was on the telephone with my boyfriend and he said that I sounded like Confucius! I told him that that was one of the nicknames that people have called me since I was a little girl! ~ and get this! Two VERY respected psychics have told me that I was connected to Confucius in a past life and that he is with me now!

Life is getting curiouser and curiouser! lol

Hugs to you!

Wise words once again, oh Angelic Sage - and so prettily penned as well

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Wisdom is a price, methinks...
a gift and a curse.

"With much wisdom comes much sorrow..."
Ecclesiastes 1

But then, growing always does hurt
Excellent poem!

Always, Alyssa

He was a man of sorrows
...I am a girl of tears.

Golden is knowledge
resting in hollows of mind
a key if used right
