"I wish you were here just now."


How all time human and transcending a sentiment is that?

......................................... If only wishing made it so.


Edit: Please forgive. It's a quiet Saturday night. 🙂

If you didn't care what happened to me
And I didn't care for you,
We would zig zag our way through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain
And watching for pigs on the wing.

You're obviously into a zone I might want to explore after we fix

the final line. Maybe... 'The kind old sun would know what to do.'

Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.

And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.

And how else can it be?

The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.

Is not the cup that hold your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven?

And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

Some of you say, 'Joy is greater than sorrow,' and others say, 'Nay, sorrow is the greater.'
But I say unto you, they are inseparable.
Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.

Gibran again 🙂
