Welcome to my SATURDAY'S CRITTERS
post and Music in the park
I'm also posting to City Daily Photo.
"To be wise is to be eternally curious."
Frederick Buechner
"A wise person knows that there is always
something to be learned from everyone."
Music is a moral law. "It gives a soul to the Universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety and life to everything. It is the essence of order and leads to all that is good and just beautiful." Plato
"Have books 'happened' to you? Unless your answer to that question is 'yes' I'm unsure how to talk to you." Haruki Murakami
"A story can always break into pieces while it sits inside a book on a shelf; and decades after we have read it even twenty times, it can open us up, by cut or caress, to a new truth."
Andre Dubus
"Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace."
Frederick Buechner
"Compassion is the sometimes-fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin.
It's the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too."
Frederick Buechner
"Joy is a mystery because it can happen anywhere, anytime, even under the most unpromising circumstances, even in the midst of suffering, with tears in its eyes."
Frederick Buechner
Thank you for stopping in and spending time with me.
Take good care of you.

I am eternally curious and do love revisiting books. I do indeed often learn from them - and enjoy the process. Thank you for a beautiful and thought provoking post.
What a lovely post of many sayings that make one think. Personally, I feel compassion has always been the driving force that gives me so much sadness.
Great posts and quotes. I have long appreciated Fredrick Buechner's writings.
Your posts are always so inspiring and uplifting, Karen. I'm not sure why I am so late visiting this one. ;-)
Thanks so much!
