"THERE DO EXIST ENQUIRING MINDS, which long for the truth of the heart, seek it, strive to solve the problems set by life, try to penetrate to the essence of things and phenomena and to penetrate into themselves. If a man reasons and thinks soundly, no matter which path he follows in solving these problems, he must inevitably arrive back at himself, and begin with the solution of the problem of what he is himself and what his place is in the world around him. For without this knowledge, he will have no focal point in his search. Socrates’ words, “Know thyself” remain for all those who seek true knowledge and being."

Retirement

Pat, my older brother, possesses an amazingly calm patience when it come to the inevitable, which always amazes me because he is so impatient with almost everything else.  Many years ago when he retired nearly 10 years ahead of me he called to tell me. He said, with his usual wry humor:

"I'm retarded now." 




Wishing you all a Lovely Thanksgiving!
