Walter Thomas Schmid, Ph. D.

Yield who will to their separation, my object in living is to unite                        

my avocation and my vocation as my two eyes make one in sight.                   

Only where love and need are one, and the work is played for mortal stakes,

Is the deed ever really done for Heaven and the future's sakes.                        

--Robert Frost, Two Tramps in Mud Time

 

Give more to the soil than you take away.   --Karel Capek, A Gardener's Year

 

Some day, some day, but not now,  I'd like to learn how to have a conversation.

Let your intelligence begin to rule

Whenever you sit with others

Using this sane idea:

Leave all your cocked guns in a field far from us.

One of those damned things

Might go

Off.
