…a group of children were crying. An adult came along with a handful of yellow leaves and said, “Don’t cry anymore. I’ll give you a pile of gold.” So the person gave the children a handful of yellow leaves, and the children thought they were real pieces of gold. They were happy and they stopped crying. ~Thich Nhát Hanh (Zen Battles)

Nice photos!

Thank you. 🙂
Good morning, Brenda. I love this photo! Thanks for sharing.
Your quote reminds me of a cartoon I read when I was young (back in Taiwan). The story went on like this… An adult gave the children some leaves, saying those were money. On the way home, the children saw a beggar and after some discussion, the children decided to give the beggar all of their “money”… 😉
Have a wonderful day.
I can’t help but think that we need to have these children in DC, today.
