Quotes
I Sit
beside the Fire
“They
say I'm old-fashioned, and live in the past, but sometimes I think progress
progresses too fast!”
―
Dr. Seuss
“I
sit beside the fire and think
Of
all that I have seen
Of
meadow flowers and butterflies
In
summers that have been
Of
yellow leaves and gossamer
In
autumns that there were
With
morning mist and silver sun
And
wind upon my hair
I
sit beside the fire and think
Of
how the world will be
When
winter comes without a spring
That
I shall ever see
For
still there are so many things
That
I have never seen
In
every wood in every spring
There
is a different green
I
sit beside the fire and think
Of
people long ago
And
people that will see a world
That
I shall never know
But
all the while I sit and think
Of
times there were before
I
listen for returning feet
And
voices at the door”

“It's
being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is
a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience
from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we
don't know if there is one.”
―
