Weekend Gibran

I have had a wonderful week. So I am feeling grateful for all that it was. I hope you all had a Good work week too... and Do Have a Lovely Weekend. Remember the 3 R's- Rest, Rejuvenation and Relaxation. I am going to share a little of Khalil Gibran, I read a while ago. I enjoy Khalil Gibran's writing. There is something profoundly true about what he says and he knows how to say it in a manner that is not condescending or preachy or I am holier than thou. Here is one of his stories from "The Madman" .

A blade of grass

Said a blade of grass to an autumn leaf, "You make such a noise falling! You scatter all my winter dreams."
Said the leaf indignant, "Low-born and low-dwelling! Songless, peevish thing! You live not in the upper air and you cannot tell the sound of singing."
Then the autumn leaf lay down upon the earth and slept. And when spring came she waked again -- and she was a blade of grass.
And when it was autumn and her winter sleep was uponher, and above her through all the air the leaves were falling, she muttered to herself, "O these autumn leaves! They make such a noise! They scatter all my winter dreams."
---Khalil Gibran.
