The noise of the moment scoffs at the music of the Eternal.
From Rabindranath Tagore:
The infant flower opens its bud and cries, "Dear World, please do not fade."
In my solitude of heart I feel the sigh of this widowed evening veiled with mist and rain.
In death the many becomes one; in life the one becomes many. Religion will be one when God is dead.
To be outspoken is easy when you do not wait to speak the complete truth.
I have dipped the vessel of my heart into this silent hour; it has filled with love.
The false can never grow into truth by growing in power.
More of his works
Although I have always been more drawn to Rumi
and Omar Khayyam today I found meaning in some of his words.

` The infant chicken escapes its shell and says; "Dear Lord! Please don't throw me into the grinder!"
` Um. Yeah. Sorry. Just popped into my head. Neato.
I liked this one :
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action---
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
Rabindranath Tagore
i like this one:
You can pick your friends,
and you can pick your nose,
but you can't....
i forgot the rest.
it was good. i've followed that proverb all my life.
I pick my nose and my friends! But for some reason, my friends don't like it when i try to stick my finger up their nose! I don't understand! if i only knew the last part of that proverb, my life would be complete!
okay, but on a post related note -
i liked this one:
What a loss, loss, loss, loss it is
to remain sober among the intoxicated and the unconscious.
~ Rumi
