    Things to Know

     If you enjoy beauty
       that beauty is within you

                        000
    Know that you are in every way
    Better than what you think you are
    But not one bit better than
    What you believe you are
                         000

    Know that your body is the connection
         you have with spirit
    As your brain is the connection
         you have with thought
                         000
    Know that releasing your laughter
    allows more joy to enter

                         000
    Know that  you attitude
        Is all a matter of...
    Your Attitude
                         000

    One who is kind and loyal
    Supportive and loving
    Never need be concerned
    About physical imperfections
    A lover sees through the eyes of a lover
    And sees the real perfection
                         000

    It has always been true
       That in giving one always receives

    Wise words that cannot be denied. Philosophy seems to be one of your callings.

    It was my major - because it's my thinking. You are too kind with the rating.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
