Learning to die, lament,...Thank you for your words. Learning to die, lament, and praise. Learning a new song and grateful that you sing it.<br /><br />Poems of Gibran came across me:<br /><br />Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain. / And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy; / And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields. / And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.<br /><br />For even as He crowns you so shall he crucify you. / Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.E!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09424234314320958150noreply@blogger.com
