Kahlil Gibran: Sing and Dance Together and be Joyous!

 

'Sing and dance together 

and be joyous!' 

'But let each one of you be alone,

Even as the strings of a lute are alone

 

though they quiver with the same music.'

'Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping.

For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.'

          

   

'And stand together yet not too near together:

For the pillars of the temple stand apart,

And the oak tree and the cypress grow 

not in each other’s shadow.'

Kahlil Gibran

Let There be Spaces in Your Togetherness

'Let there be spaces in your togetherness, 

and let the winds of the heavens dance between you.'

Kahlil Gibran

Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. 

Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.'

We Wanderers~Ever Seeking the Lonelier Way

begin no day where we have ended another day; 

and no sunrise finds us where sunset left us. 

Even while the earth sleeps we travel.'

We are the Seeds of the Tenacious Plant

we are given to the wind and are scattered.'

Kahlil Gibran~Wake at Dawn with a Winged Heart

'And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, 

and sharing of pleasures.

For in the dew of little things 

the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.'

Kahlil Gibran

 'Wake at dawn with a winged heart 

and give thanks for another day of loving.'

Kahlil Gibran

'may my heart always be open to little birds 

who are the secrets of living.'

e. e. cummings

'may my heart always be open to little
birds who are the secrets of living
whatever they sing is better than to know
and if men should not hear them men are old

may my mind stroll about hungry
and fearless and thirsty and supple
and even if it's sunday may i be wrong
for whenever men are right they are not young'

e. e. cummings

'May our heart's garden of awakening bloom with hundreds of flowers.'

An Extravert's Active Meditation

How does an extrovert rebalance and refresh? This one does it by scanning her environment for words and messages until one speaks to her. 

Today's message 'Healing Laughter' provided me a week's worth of active meditation through studying, contemplating, drawing, painting and putting together a visual display of Healing Laughter and what that means to me. And like a true extravert, I am compelled to share a bit of lightness with the world. 

Wishing you a big helping of Hearty Laughter today!
