Wisdom
Wisdom.
How do we attain it? By experience, I suppose. One can be smart, but not necessarily wise.
Wisdom has an added component: humility. Or maybe it's grace.
The owl has been a symbol of wisdom. This one I photographed in the Florida Keys; he looks wise or just pissed that I'm taking his picture. :)
Where does our wisdom come from?
Any thoughts?

Spring Into An Earthquake
Spring arrived in northern Illinois: birds chirping everywhere, 60 degree weather and my tulips are coming up.
Also sharing the spring explosion--The Earthquake that woke me at quarter to 5 this am.
Actually, I slept through the blasted thing; I was awaken by my Great Dane Charlie, who was barking at the back door for 15 minutes. "Mom, something is out there--I felt it!" I did not feel a thing at a magnitude 5.2 on the Richter.
Welcome to Spring.

Charlie
Charlie and rain do not mix. I'm not quite sure what it is about some Great Danes and their fear of water; mine certainly has that trepidation.
Storms are brewing tonight in northern Illinois.7-Day Forecast for Latitude 42.34N and Longitude -89W
Charlie doesn't fear the storms themselves, which I'm grateful for. Could you imagine a 186lb. dog running at you in fright? What he has trouble doing is heading outside to do his "business" when it's raining. You'd think he was the Wicked Witch of the West and will melt if doused with water by the way he acts.
All in all, he's a great dog.
Peace.
