A TIME FOR EVERYTHING There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the sun. A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time for decay and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones, a time to gather, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. - ECC -

Yes - that is my belief - how many peaceful hours have I spent enjoying my long drives through Victoria and Tasmania
When does Old Age start?
It is a feeling of the body, not the heart?
Myself I feel I still have much to grow -
And in that time - I still have far to go.

Re: QUOTES THAT SETTLE MY MIND
I often ask the same question, "WHEN IS A PERSON OLD?" It is a matter of the heart, and how far away we've moved from our 'childlike' state.. But in practical terms, I have observed that old people spend a lot of time alone andcthus in their own heads. Good memories also make for wonderful conversations and stories for the children.

Re: QUOTES THAT SETTLE MY MIND
Agreed .... !🌷
It helps to puddle around with things a bit, I think, but then wait for "illumination" ..,,, It's a word I hear often in European circles as a translation into English ...,. I think it means a cross between awareness and understanding enlightening the mind, in a sense of it's own accord .....
We would probably use a euphemism like "waiting for the penny to drop".
Interesting ......
