It is a journey to know ourselves with all the experiences we go through and ongoing changes in life. The more we know ourselves, the more we can make of our lives! Well done Demetrios. :) Beautiful pure white flower!

We are interconnected and interdependent unfortunately seeing things from the here and now and me keeps us blind to the truth! God bless you dear, Besma! Thank you for your gracious visit and comment!

- Both important and true, my friend :) - "Without knowing yourself, you can not know God. Without knowing God, you can not know yourself. "- Written by Calvin a French man about 600 years ago - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

" Know Thyself" my dearest Anne-Lise was written on the en trace of Apollo's temple 600 years BC! I am aware of Calvin since I am a graduate of philosophy! In Calvin's saying we have a dilemma since you go round and round! My stand is first we start with ourselves and then ... Thank you my dearest friend, Hugs xx
