Reply #131: H2O for a peaceful retirement!

[H2O Man]

The only rose garden I care for is, well, the one I care for on my lawn. I'm an old man who enjoys solitude. Last year, it was suggested to me that I take a look at DU .... and I enjoyed a few exchanges with good and decent people ..... but mainly enjoyed solitude on here, too! You people are keeping me busy.

I need to spend more time tending my garden. However, I think I'll continue with this until the election, at least.

One of my favorite poems is by Kahlil Gibran:

I came to say a word and I shall say it now. But if death prevents me, it will be said by Tomorrow, for Tomorrow never leaves a secret in the book of Eternity.

I came to live in the glory of Love and the light of Beauty, which are the reflections of God. I am here, living, and I cannot be exiled from the domain of life, for through my living word I will live in death.

I came here to be for all and with all, and what I do today in my solitude will be echoed Tomorrow by the multitude.

What I say now with one heart will be said Tomorrow by thousands of hearts.
