Sunset Hues

"Peace...is seeing a sunset, and knowing who to thank."

-----Anonymous

The setting sun displaying a myriad of sunset hues just behind O' Rourke Bridge over the Merrimack River. It's just the perfect ending of a beautiful cold winter day.

Got home from work feeling restless and excited to see this beautiful sunset. I don't know what it is about the sunrise or the sunset. There's something about it that just keeps giving me the feeling of peacefulness, awe and utmost respect for Mother Nature.

The Fountain of Youth

Youth is not a time of life – it is a state of mind, it is a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over love of ease.
Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old only by deserting their ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, self-distrust, fear, and despair – these are the long, long years that bow the head and turn the growing spirit back to dust.
Whether they are sixteen or seventy, there is in every being’s heart the love of wonder, the sweet amazement at the stars and star-like things and thoughts, the undaunted challenge of events, the unfailing childlike appetite for what is to come next, and the joy, and the game of life.
You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear, as young as your hope, as old as your despair. When the wires are all down and all the innermost core of your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then you are grown old indeed.
But so long as your heart receives messages of beauty, cheer, courage, grandeur and power from the earth, from man and from the Infinite, so long YOU ARE YOUNG.

LOVE

Love is the only bow on life's dark cloud.
It is the Morning and the Evening Star.
It shines upon the cradle of the babe,
and sheds its radiance upon the quiet tomb.
It is the mother of Art,
inspirer of poet,
patriot,
and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart,
builder of every home,
kindler of every fire on every hearth.
It was the first to dream of immortality.
It fills the world with melody,
for Music is the voice of Love.
Love is the magician,
the enchanter,
that changes worthless things to joy,
and makes right royal kings and queens of common clay.
It is the perfume of the wondrous flower -- the heart and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon,we are less than beasts;
but with it, earth is heaven and we are gods.

Robert G. Ingersoll
