Self Reinvention Year 15
Rumi - Guest House
This being human is a guest house
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out for
some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame,
the malice,meet them at the door
laughing,and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
Dreams
by: Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

Does the past build the moments oof our present or does the present define the moments of our past? we seem to be thinking alike. ~rick
Too much time is wasted hanging on to the past (IMHO. I am loving the quote; you.One which will stick to the insides of my brain.

Linda,
I must let you know that this music comes at perfect timing when I was having my Chinese tea. You can image how wonderful in life when you have enjoying them from both the West and the East.
Wishing you too have a wonderful weekend as I do.
I'm impressed. You're truly well informed and very intelligent. You wrote something that people could understand and made the subject intriguing for everyone. I'm saving this for future use.
