NO END TO LEARNING
Can one be too young or too old to learn, no. Can one ever learn all, no.
A young violinist of high calibre got called in as a soloist in short notice. One rehearsal and then concert, which for this young man already was common. The violinist delivered the concert with panache got standing ovations by the audience and the orchestra was clearly very grateful and pleased with this upcoming violinist; everything was perfect.
The
very talented soloist received flowers and the ovations warmly, turned around and walked of the stage. The really observant could notice a small, small grimace, as if he was not completely satisfied, on his way of the stage. This while all in the concert hall, now both on stage as well as in the audience, stood applauding.
Can one be too young or too old to learn, no. Can one ever learn all, no; there is no end to learning.

FAITH
"When you come to the edge of all the light that you know. And you are about to step into the darkness of the unknown. Faith is knowing one of to things will happen for you. There will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught how to fly."

A GOOD WORD
Where we all ought to begin is a good thought to help us
all sing. Then a good word will be a fruitful seed to lift our world
through a good deed.
How unthoughtful then to believe our future a
friend, if not our thought be good, say not what we ought and do not
know we should.
Verily, where we all ought to begin is a good thought to help us all sing.
A good word, truly, a good world.
