For Those Who Cannot Fly

I don't have a particular passion for chain link fences. I don't collect them... I don't gaze at them and contemplate their beauty... nor do I seek a greater understanding of why they exist and how they affect my life. Although American publisher Elbert Hubbard wrote a hundred years ago... "Fences are made for those who cannot fly". Some interesting thinking.

It was a wise person who is recorded to have said some 2500 years ago... "If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change".

Please Be Respectful

This crude sign with it's well-mannered message greets visitors to the rose garden at Reid Park here in Tucson. It was a wise sage who said... "If you are respectful by habit, constantly mindul of others, four things increase: long life, beauty, happiness, and strength."

Wise counsel in our "I... me... myself" world. Too bad it takes a sign to remind us.
