Thoughts

When very small
I used to wonder
whence we came
and wither we would wander
*
Now, having eached
a grey-haired age
I am neither
wise nor sage
*
The dreams I dreamt
the paths I trod
have led no closer
or nearer to God.

Please click on photo, it is worth enlarging!

  1. Wow, what a great sky. I like the wispy clouds and the silhouettes of the trees in front of it. Beautiful!

  6. Hmmm. What an intriguing little poem. The opposite of how I feel, but very thoughtful nonetheless... - and super pictures!

  8. These are beautiful photos, Arija. Somehow I doubt that you are 'grey-haired age', but you certainly have a way of bringing others closer to God.

  9. Yet following that dream path has certainly brought you closer to the Earth Mother Arija.

  12. Interesting thought. Yes, where do the roads lead. Do they get us closer, or just carry us away, or neither. Probably all three.

  14. Your photos are worth enlarging indeed! Thanks for sharing and your poem. You said you lost all your photos of Delphi! Such a pity, you may take mine if you want to. It wouldn't be the same of course..but still I can e-mail them.

  15. A beautiful poem Arija and very thought provoking. It is even more difficult these days because we are faced with so many challenges that we think we can overcome by sheer human effort. We don't learn our lessons well.

    A beautiful sky to illuminate the lovely poem.

  17. Beautiful silhouette and poem, Arija!! It is a long search for the answers isn't it? and just when we think we have something figured out, another wrench is thrown into the puzzle!

  18. Interesting, yes, I remember thinking as a young person that I could,.. and would (!) do it all,... now in my late 60s I know I barely scratched the surface of what I could have done. Your post makes me think. Good one.

  19. Daisies are the friendliest flower, don't you think?
