We do not need more material development;
we need more spiritual development.
We do not need more intellectual power;
we need more moral power.
We do not need more knowledge;
we need more character.
We do not need more government;
we need more culture.
We do not need more of the things that are seen;
we need more of the things that are unseen.
– Calvin Coolidge
It is a beautiful fall morning so I have settled in on the glider on the back patio. The sun is not yet high so there are many shades and shadows to the trees. A gentle breeze rattles the pages of my journal as I watch clouds disappearing in the sky.
My thoughts float in and out of my conciousness, taunting my awareness to expand and connect. I give great thought to wisdom I have come to explore, reject, and embrace. Random quotes pop up in my mind and stay suspended long enough for me to clearly see their color and design. I find myself wondering if they are meant for inspiration or if they are like hot air balloons ... filled with hot air.
