Clouds come floating into my life, No longer to carry rain or usher storm, But to add color to my sunset sky. — Rabindranath Tagore
Thanks Albatross. That's beautiful. That reminds me of that movie, 'Being there' which offered the idea of life being a perceptual experience, it's how you perceive something that colors your response, your emotional stance about it. I can perceive something as a struggle, or an opportunity to learn...... There was a workshop I took years ago where the the facilitator (who incidentally, like Nelson Mandela had been a political prisoner for many years) opened the seminar with the line, "suffering is a linguistic phenomenon, it happens in our languaging." I have thought of that often and find it a profound statement about the choice we have in how we view life.
No longer to carry rain or usher storm.... It is true that the memorable events of a life come in cloud form. Some are beautiful. Thank you. :0) Cedar
What a beautiful way to look at life. Our perception of things drive our emotions. I love the idea of the "clouds" adding color to my life rather than just a storm.
