Tidbits of Wit and Wisdom Two
by More thoughts to share with those who venture here.
We cannot ignore the flip side of Life, the dark side. These thoughts are not to bring you down. On the contrary, they are meant to help visualize how Life can be, it’s good side and it’s dark side. There are redeeming qualities that make Life worth living as we travel through time and space with hope and by the grace of our loving God.
Part 2 – From the Dark Side of Life
1. We live and love and die.
We hope just one remembers
the love we gave was from the heart,
and in that thought find warmth
for cold Decembers.
We ask and give and take.
And in the asking want for nothing more
than peace for aging hearts.
In giving we found temporary satisfaction.
In taking we found justification.
We lived and loved,
and then -
We died.
2. He has known so much for so long; sometimes he must stop to think about it.
3. The first thing to do in the morning is brush your teeth and sharpen your tongue.
4. The city is big, but it’s just suburban enough to seem human.
5. How close to Death can we get without becoming its victim?
6. Death ends a life, but it cannot end a relationship because memories keep love alive.
7. The silent and invisible speak, but are not heard. They stand before the man
and yet they are not seen. They are a blank existence.
8. If you look at life with old eyes, you will react with worn out emotions.
9. Life without love is life without memories or meaning.
10. Men are but children of a larger growth!
11. Many people magnify their role in life beyond credulity, forgetting long before their birth they were un- named and unknown.
12. If you don’t know the struggle, you lose the strength.
13. We cherish life because there is no future in dying.
14. There is a world behind our eyes no one will ever see
a world that’s calm, so beautiful, a world of fantasy.
Go there often, but don’t stay too long.
15. The future will always be waiting. The past you can do nothing about. Today you have learned
there is no changing that.
16. The city that never sleeps is kept awake by the cries of men desperately seeking a way out.
17. Memories can be cunning. They can be sly. Are they real or are they the fantasies of a wishful thinker, hopeful possibilities of a helpless romantic?
18. Our memories keep us close to yesterday.
19. The edge of tomorrow — the twilight hour that comes with the setting of the Sun just before the day is done.
20. Gossamer skyways – invisible to the naked eye until touched by the Sun, one-by-one. Then we can see how God has made it possible for spiders to fly, swift and silent, soaring high, moving gracefully across the sky down gossamer skyways.
Tips:
Do not despair for Life does not remain in the dark side. However, it is good to look at it from all angles to understand nothing in Life is constant except Change. Remember how wonderfully we are made and find solace in the thought that we are all miracles in progress.
