More Precious Than A Gem !

A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime.

But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the wise woman. "I've been thinking," he said, "I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone.

Seeing It... !!..

"If the Human Body is Obscene, Complain to the manufacturer, Not Me." ~Larry Flynt Long back while watching Discovery Channel. In a Program, I heard them say: "Our Body is Dynamic. Changes every day.

(2) Her Smile is good. etc. IS IT FOR ALL? ...ALWAYS?? I'm trying to say that - Its All in the Eyes ! A person lying naked on the bed... can be anyone from a child to someone selling body for money. And EYES can be anything from Saintly Ignorant to Gyenocologist at Work to a Ponce to Sharp Shooter to Fighter Pilot to a Mother [[who feels - and not just See It !]] Some Child [[unable to See beyond some feet !]] to a Blind [[who still can see - WITHOUT EYES !]]... Or may be YOUR OWN EYES ! Well this Human Body as we SEE is not the same for long. Beautiful today, can be Granny tom...

Love... !!..

Perfect love is rare indeed - for to be a lover will require that you continually have the subtlety of the very wise , the flexibility of the child , the sensitivity of the artist , the understanding of the philosopher , the acceptance of the saint , the tolerance of the scholar and the fortitude of the certain . ~Leo Buscaglia ++ Perhaps it is good to have a BEAUTIFUL MIND, but an even greater gift is to discover a BEAUTIFUL HEART. ~Beautiful Mind (*Movie) [[ MyWords : Wordless... ! ]]

Writer: Antonio Porcia... !!..

A Man of Truth, must be a Man of Care ! ~Mahatma Gandhi Voces (1943) Translated from Spanish by W.S. Merwin A door opens to me. I go in and am faced with a hundred closed doors. He who holds me by a thread is not strong; the thread is strong. My great day came and went, I do not know how. Because it did not pass through dawn when it came, nor through dusk when it went. You are sad because they abandon you and you have not fallen. I would go to heaven, but I would take my hell; I would not go alone. My heaviness comes from the heights. Would there be this eternal seeking if the found existed? We become aware of the void as we fill it. Because they know the name of what I am looking for, they think they know what I am looking for ! A thing, until it is everything, is noise, and once it is everything it is silence. Before I travelled my road I was my road. When I die, I will not see myself die, for the first time. *** Antonio Porchia (November 13, 1886 - November 9, 1968) was an Italian...
