“Love”- the giving heart!
“The season of clouds, a pitcher of wine
Roses, a rose garden- and you”
--- Mir Taqi Mir
A loving heart is an asset. It can be love for self, another person,
environment, work, music, art, nature- anything! A touch of love
adds magic to what you do. Nowadays that love ends in an
emoticon without the feeling.
“If you have much,
give your wealth
If you have little
give of your heart.”
--- Arabic Proverb
Today let’s pick up the phone and call a long-lost friend, or take
time out to share a few giggles with our children, sit and speak to
an elder at home or spend quality time with anybody whom we feel
has not been given time by us!
Easing in

for his pillow

One of my favorite Basho poems. Not as well-know as others, but one of his most tender. Thanks for posting this one.
