My best jokes are directed at myself and this always gets me heartwarming laughter.<br />"<br /><br />Stars for those. For they speak of experience both the laughter and the tears, of accepting, and believing and knowing... and that comes from living.. and nothing else.<br /><br />Love this post too, for how it makes me want to know a bit more, of myself, but not all... as you say.. a bit of curiosity is needed to keep one going!<br /><br />Thought provoking, Poonam, this one is!Usha Pisharodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08569968324374522544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000025037782324072.post-68977080236638451512009-05-15T20:20:00.000+05:302009-05-15T20:20:00.000+05:30A guru can help us practice what we know is the ri...A guru can help us practice what we know is the right art of living.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04279878087585603554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000025037782324072.post-31330646977416177502009-05-15T15:33:00.000+05:302009-05-15T15:33:00.000+05:30You make so much sense when you say 'To me the art...You make so much sense when you say 'To me the art of living can not be preached, but it can only be learnt and realized from within.'<br /><br />This post definitely made me think..Smithahttp://wordsndreamz.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000025037782324072.post-31720670726757325872009-05-15T11:35:00.000+05:302009-05-15T11:35:00.000+05:30Kahlil Gibran's lines on
Joy and Sorrow
Th...Kahlil Gibran's lines on<br />Joy and Sorrow<br /> <br /> <br /> Then a woman said, 'Speak to us of Joy and Sorrow.' <br /><br />And he answered: <br /><br />Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. <br /><br />And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. <br /><br />And how else can it be? <br /><br />The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. <br /><br />Is not the cup that hold your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven? <br /><br />And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives? <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />Some of you say, 'Joy is greater than sorrow,' and others say, 'Nay, sorrow is the greater.' <br /><br />But I say unto you, they are inseparable. <br /><br />Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed. <br /><br />Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy. <br /><br />Only when you are empty are you at standstill and balanced. <br /><br />When the treasure-keeper lifts you to weigh his gold and his silver, needs must your joy or your sorrow rise or fall. <br /><br />Kahlil Gibran <br /><br />Thanks Poonam:))your lines too made me think again :))(((hugs)))Indyeahhttp://indyeahforever.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000025037782324072.post-69763554261490263202009-05-15T10:53:00.000+05:302009-05-15T10:53:00.000+05:30A...u r so right, as we grow, we evolve..and learn...A...u r so right, as we grow, we evolve..and learn from our experiences in life...Many of us are fortunate, while some get stuck in their mindset....U said it, its the NOW state that defines it all.

Wha...I believe the Art of Living changes with time. What I mean is that it is in a constant process of 'updates' based on the life we lead and the changes that comes from it. Basic core and values will of course be the same. The big 'ideal' ticket will be the same. <br />The most important element in the 'NOW' state is what defines the art of living.Just call me 'A'https://www.blogger.com/profile/07437889798367894323noreply@blogger.com
