508. soft & hard

rough become smooth

sweet tarnish of time….

silver and gold

(Time and experience can soften the armor of anything and everything. Steel takes a long time to soften. The soft overcomes the hard. Willingness matters.)

507. greater than great

this says: 

don’t be good

be great

*

even better,

stop trying so hard—

just be yourself

(And it is written: The journey of life is to realize who you are….but first you must find out who you are not. Be yourself.)
 

506. quiet beauty

without a sound

the ghost of yesterday’s flower

looks on

 

(Without color or sound, quieting down to a different kind beauty.)
