"When you talk,
you are only repeating what you already know.
But if you listen,
you may learn something new."

That's a very good quote. I have so much yet to learn!
ReplyDeleteHow inviting! Sometimes there is nothing better than a cozy fire -- and a good conversation!
ReplyDeleteFireplaces are magic! Also magical are people who can really talk in an interesting way!
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes! (Saying that to remind *myself* of this great truth!)
ReplyDeleteBob and I are such chatterboxes - as you well know! - and we loved the Dalai Lama's words.
ReplyDeleteInspiring and so true.
Our home repair guy showed up today - somehow yesterday wasn't on his calendar, he thought it was Sunday! Anyway, he's an amazing man and used to live not far from you in Portland. He was thrilled to know you had taken us to the Lan Su Gardens, also the rose gardens etc. He also did work at the Nike complex.
Chilly and breezy here - we'll be lighting the fire again this evening - I feel like a quiet evening looking into the dancing flames, perhaps knitting and sipping something good.
Hope you are much better by now dear.
