If I had met Einstein or Wittgenstein,
I would not hesitate to talk to them, despite their individual genius.

I know they would not walk away----if they did, their genius would mean nothing to me as, without humanity,  I would count them less in the scale of human values.
Dr Peter Lim Jul 2021
Human wisdom, at its highest point, tends toward the transcendental and spiritual as it can no longer contain, comprehend or define itself.
It then realises that it must be silent to imbibe the Ultimate Sublime.
Dr Peter Lim Jul 2021
Night is my solace

the day my chagrin

the piano is my only place

my eternal shine--



give me not any praise

only let love be ever mine

sweetened by unending grace

my music is what makes my life divine
Dr Peter Lim Jul 2021
I don't think of time
but as moment to moment
with it I daily engage
though no word is spoken-

in distant days to come
past scenes will not be forgotten
despite the mist and the haze
feelings will never be frozen
Dr Peter Lim Jul 2021
If you will wait and stay silent

  a moment will visit you and speak:

  your life is a miracle, not an accident-

  live, create, rejoice, celebrate, aim for the peak!
Dr Peter Lim Jul 2021
Her sorrow she hides

she weeps when none is around

love is betrayal
Dr Peter Lim Jul 2021
The wise person sees no situation as negative but as an opportunity to turn it around to something beneficial and constructive

Viewed thus, the negative should not be spurned or held in contempt as it has a positive side---it's a raw material waiting to be processed into a desirable product.

Applied to a personal life, what's negative is a springboard for growth and self-realisation.   copyright 2021
