Vision

DAY 6

i decided that it was not wisdom that enabled poets to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct of inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean - sokrates

true wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, & the world around us - sokrates

i know nothing except the fact of my ignorance - sokrates

if all misfortunes were laid in one common heap whence everyone must take an equal portion, most people would be contented to take their own & depart - sokrates

the unexamined life is not worth living - sokrates

apply yourself both now & in the next life. without effort, you cannot be prosperous. though the land be good, you cannot have an abundant crop without cultivation - plato

courage is a kind of salvation - plato

courage is knowing what not to fear - plato

for two days i've been contemplating sokrates & plato. these writings are supreme in depth.

at first i saw,  then i looked & realized that i couldn't see. now i'm learning how to focus & what to focus on.
gifts & talents belong to each one of us! sharing that beauty that comes from deep within has greater impact than a million sad memories . the journey of unveiling vision continues...
