Stoicism Acrostic.

And you did your friend justice Andy. A fantastic write. AP

Stoicism Acrostic.
dusk arising said:

Well chosen words.

..and here i reproduce \"It would be hard to find a word that dealt a greater injustice at the hands of the English language than β€œStoic.” In its rightful place, Stoicism is a tool in the pursuit of self-mastery, perseverance, and wisdom: something one uses to live a great life, rather than some esoteric field of academic inquiry\".

I\'ll go for that 100%

Stoicism Acrostic.
orchidee said:

Are you Greek? I see that\'s where Stoicism started.
Were you stoic, bearing with me in 1066, when I mucked it all up?! lol.
An excellent self-description there, if I may say so myself!

Lost in Words.
dusk arising said:

I am so with you in this. Much of my scrawlings are generated late at night and the realisation of the morning hour has oft led me to wait a further half hour so that i may be the first to post on mps in any given day.

But what a wonderfully absorbing way to pass time.

Is it half past Summer yet? Hope time does not go too quickly. We best not enjoy ourselves too much then. That\'s when time is said to pass quickly!

Buenas Tardes - Tio Andy - Angela Aqui ! Thanks for the VIDEO - One of my favorite pieces and Pianists. Lang Langs touch is impeccable - I try to massage the keys. Because | have un PADRE Espanol & una MADRE Ingles - I have to be at least BILINGUAL ! I was born & raised in England ! When I met BRIAN he was fluent in Spanish which tipped the scales in both our favours ! Esta La Vida ! When we have children (ninos) we will raise then bilingually ! Love your Poem and the sting in the tail - like a German Joke ! You must be very proud of your Grandaughter at least 30+ years in the future for US. Thanks for sharing.

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela & Brian & Smokey !

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

BRIAN HERE ~ Good July Uncle ANDY ! Angela & I love Opera and queing in a CAR is an excellent way to share it with the Hoi Poloi ! You probably remember long gone (preplastic) days (our Grandparents speak about) when rubbish was burned in a Garden Incinerator and the ash used for fertilizer. Tips are like shrines where we (or the Bin Men) take our weekly oblations. Queues seem to be de rigeur at the moment and more from Independence Day onwards (except alas in Leicester !). We live close enough to London to enjoy the *Classics* when the lights go on again. We generally go by Coach ~ as cheap as driving & parking or train ! Please check *ANGELA ~ MY WIFE* Thanks !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Brian & Angela πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›
