Experience, like a pale musician, holds a dulcimer of patien

Summary

This quote suggests that experience can be likened to a skilled musician playing a dulcimer, a string instrument. The dulcimer requires patience and control to create beautiful melodies. Similarly, experience grants individuals a deeper understanding and wisdom, cultivated over time. With patience, experience can help one navigate life's challenges, providing valuable insights and teachings along the way. Just like a musician conducts the dulcimer skillfully, experience can guide and harmonize our journeys, enriching our perspectives and helping us make more informed decisions.

A Mother's love is something that no on can explain,It is made of deep devotionand of sacrifice and pain,It is endless and unselfishand enduring come what mayFor nothing can destroy itor take that love away . . .It is patient and forgivingwhen all others are forsaking,And it never fails or falterseven though the heart is breaking . . .It believes beyond believingwhen the world around condemns,And it glows with all the beautyof the rarest, brightest gems . . .It is far beyond defining,it defies all explanation,And it still remains a secretlike the mysteries of creation . . .A many splendoured miracleman cannot understandAnd another wondrous evidenceof God's tender guiding hand.
