Senryus 12
Respect
Respect is like gold
it’s prized highly because
of its rarity.
Morality
Defy the temptress
with your moral character
or some witnesses?
Words
Words are precious gems.
Over-polished they become
meaningless fragments.
Values
Many people can
calculate prices, but who
can assess value?
Experience
Experience is
your power to know your mistakes
as you repeat them.
The Simple Life
Everyone wants a
simpler way of life, but few
will give up their phone.
The New Frontier
The final frontier
won’t be found lightyears away:
It's the minds of men.

True words Phil.
Andy
so true, thank you!
Each part of this piece speaks simply and powerfully of truth and wisdom. I especially love The New Frontier, for it really is in each of us. Thank you for sharing this gem.
What a treasure trove we have here darn near enough little gems to make up an entire necklace .. Neville
