To Patience

Oh Patience...

You are a perfecter of things

We ignore you, and pay for it
I am yet to see the man prosper who bypasses you

Oh patience, you are awesome
You bring all things into perfect harmony
You bring the baby to birth
You bring the tree to full bloom, and the fruit, too

Oh patience, no man great has done without you
You are needed for all things wise
You are needed for all loves perfect
You are needed for all things built to last

Oh patience, you are from the First
The great King had you in the beginning
And after He calls time, you will remain
Yet how strong is your friendship with time!

And He tells me to get you
In adversity, you are unmoving
In haste, you laugh at men
In trickery, you shake your head

You are to be desired
And for you, I pine

Sorrow

In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all,
and it often comes with bitter agony.
Perfect reliet is not possible,
except with time.
You cannot now believe that you will ever feel better.
But this is not true.
You are sure to be happy again.
Knowing this,
truly believing it,
will make you less miserable now.
I have had enough experience to make this statement.
                                                                                                         -----Abraham Lincoln.

Some Tools To Help Us Learn

The web has quite a number of resources for learning lots of things. Let's get to know them, for knowledge is power, and our world is not in the least bit static. 

Also, please feel free to bring to the blog other tools you find online.

*Note from Scott's blog: Some of these sites and tools were found via the awesome resources at Uncollege.org.

And let us also use good judgment in accessing these tools, minding time and effort---a multitude of choices can be blinding, too.
