Guest guest Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I found this quote and comment and it resonated with me. I hope the words mean something here too. Blessings, Skydancer xYour hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights.But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart's knowledge.You would know in words that which you have always known in thought.You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams.Say not, "I have found the truth," but rather, "I have found atruth."Say not, "I have found the path of the soul." Say rather, "Ihave metthe soul walking upon my path."For the soul walks upon all paths.The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed.The soul unfolds itself like a lotus of countless petals.Kahlil GibranKeep in mind, this is not meant to be a nice messagedesigned to make you feel good about yourself. This lesson isconnected to the fundamental kabbalistic concept that states,blessings cannot rest on darkness.The idea is, when we share with someone, Light is revealed.The Kabbalists take this thought one step further. If we want to helpthe people in our lives, then we have to see their perfection aswell. When we only see the darkness within our friends, students,children, and colleagues, we cannot help them. Only by seeing theirperfection can we be of any real assistance.--- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
