MAN NEVER LEARNS

Man never learns.

He never learns his lesson.

To give nature her freedom.

Her space to expand.

Why should she be limited?

Why should she be encroached upon?

Move back mankind.

Let nature be free.

To spread her wings.

THE SMELL OF A BOOKSTORE

The smell of a bookstore.
The enticing aroma.
It draws me inside.
Pulling me into its embrace.

Shelf after shelf of books.
Books that have one purpose.
To keep their words safe.
For someone, like me, to enjoy.

Sunlight streams in.
Highlighting the dust mites in the air.
I reach for a book.
Is this the best one for me?

Pages are rustling in the next aisle.
Other people are lost in their books.
Maybe I don't need to pick just one.
Endless possibilities. 

History, mystery, cooking,
Oh my!
What to choose?
Do I need to choose?

I feel like skipping down the block.
I leave the store with bags of books.
Eager to read them.
Eager to learn for them.
Life is good today.


 

THE JOURNEY

Remember the journey.
Not its end point.
Not its goal.
But the struggle to achieve it.
Look ahead into the distance.
Remember what’s key.
Remember the journey.
For future adventures.
For future battles.
Learn to live by it.

LIFE'S JOURNEY

LIFE’S JOURNEY

Life’s journey may be long and dark,
but we must take it to grow and learn.
At journey’s end, we will see that is was all worth it.

• 

What are we made of?
Are we just pieces put to together?
Are we the sum of our parts?
Or are we something more?
Do we serve a purpose?
These are difficult questions,
but I believe that we have been
placed on earth for a purpose.
We live our lives with ups and downs,
but we learn important lessons along the way.
If we learn correctly, then we will have
something useful to offer the rest of mankind.

HOPE SPRINGS ANEW

nichvlas:

Some days feel dark and stormy
with no hope and no end in sight.
The next day, the sun rises
and shows us its cheerful face.
Our hope is renewed like the new day.
We must remember that the
sun rises each and every morning.
And we must rise with it—with hope
in our hearts for new beginnings.

FREEDOM

Susanne Leist

We need to fly free.
No one or nothing alive should ever feel trapped.
Trapped by circumstances or actual chains.
We were put on this earth to explore and learn.
So keep learning and reading, and never let
anyone impose any limits on your freedom.

ESCAPE IN A BOOK

When you read a book,
a whole world opens up to you.
You never know where you might end up.
You could be stuck in a murder mystery,
or maybe on a voyage on a large ship--in a big storm.
As long as your mind is open, 
your imagination can take you anywhere.
But you will never find out,
unless you open a book and read.
Open your eyes and your mind,
and enjoy the great beyond!

HARSH WORLD

THE PERFECT RELATIONSHIP

The flower and the butterfly need each other
to survive in this harsh world.
People can learn from this and
create their own symbiotic relationships.
