An idle mind does not grow and flourish, so to have it within our ability to indulge in those things such as reading, writing and everything connected to greater knowledge, and in that way create wonders….how that we not dare to try….How can we not! Henry Longfellow says so much in just these two sentences. Inspiring!
“Sit in reverie and watch the changing color of the waves
that break upon the idle seashore of the mind.”
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)

Thanks Ian! I truly believe it is so. It is hard to get my nearly 88yr old father to do more but he does read and loves his word find puzzles so that is helpful to keep him young and his memory sharp.
