Thanks Moonglow........Kriss !
Love and Huggzz and focus
I was thinking how many really good writings come from loneliness
and then I started reading Kahlil Gibrans ' The Voice of the Master '
I quote:
" I have seen you, my brother, enamoured of a beautiful woman, laying
down your heart at the altar of her loveliness. When I saw her gazing
upon you with tenderness and maternal love, I said to myself, "Long
live Love that has done away with this man's loneliness and joined his
heart with another's.
Yet, when I looked again, I saw within your loving heart another solitary
heart, crying out in vain to reveal its secrets to a woman; and behind
your love-filled soul, another lonely soul that was like a wandering
cloud, wishing in vain that it might turn into teardrops in the eyes of
your
beloved....
Your life, my brother, is a solitary habitation separated from other men's
dwllings. It is a house into whose interior no neighbor's gaze can
penetrate. If it were plunged into darkness, your neighbor's lamp could
not illumine it. If it were emptied of provisions, the stores of your
neighbors could not fill it. If it stood in a desert, you could not move
it ito
other men's gardens, tilled a and planted by other hands. If it stood on
a mountain top, you could not bring it down into the valley trod by other
men's feet.
Your spirit's life, my brother, is encompassed by loneliness, and were it
not for that loneliness, and solitude, you would not be you, nor would I
be I. Were it not for this loneliness and solitude, I would come to
believe on hearing your voice that it was my voice speaking; or seeing
your face, that it was myself looking into a mirror."
I can' t remember how many times in my life I thought I couldn't be more
happy or thought I couldn't be more sad, yet found that neither was true.
This is not only a BIG place I find myself in, it's also very DEEP.
And I just got here a little while ago.
