And Back to School Again...

Song of Youth

Though clouds dot the sky
and the wind blows
the sun rises again today
the morning sun of youth
holding within itself limitless power
as it spreads its light abroad
advances on a correct course

~ "Song of Youth"

What is my correct course?

At age 30, I feel I had so much yet to accomplish. Will I be a worthy disciple to my mentor?

Must work harder!

Be Patient and Persevere

"Don't despair when things don't go as you had hoped. Don't become depressed and sorry for yourself. Be patient and persevere, putting down solid roots and creating the cause for more fortunate circumstances to present themselves in the future. Faith is about putting down roots of happiness in the soil of our present reality. Eventually sprouts will appear and flowers will begin to bloom in beautiful profusion signalling the arrival of a spring of victory and success."
