Celebrating Diversity #8

Mon Oct 29, 2012, 12:01 PM

I am older than my children,
but that is not so old.

I know too much to be talking,
but not enough to stop.
When a pile has a bottom,
I can see who's on top.

There is Samson in the temple,
tearing it down with all his might.
Or maybe that's not Samson,
just some fool who lost his sight.

A rich man by the highway

Thank you so much, Yvette. I agree with what you're saying, and I have to say that making this journal was a good reminder to myself that there's much more to discover than photography only. :blushes:
