Many are the things

“Many are the things that man 

Seeing must understand 

Not seeing, how shall he know 

What lies in the hand 

Of time to come?” 

Sophocles

What I know is like the leaves on that tree

“What I know is like the leaves on that tree; what I teach is only a small part. But I offer it to all with an open hand. What do I not teach? Whatever is fascinating to discuss, divides people against each other, but has no bearing on putting an end to sorrow. What do I teach? Only what is necessary to take you to the other shore.”

Siddhartha Gautama Buddha

Holding a hand & falling in love

After a while you learn the difference between holding a hand & falling in love. You begin to learn that kisses don’t always mean something. Promises can be broken just as quickly as they are made & goodbyes really are forever.
