Cheers To FRIENDSHIP

All with the recent news of terrorism striking our nation n d shameful political circus in the parliament, depression n despair is looming large in our lives…but in spite of that…we continue facing each day with a new zeal, a new hope…and I m sure all of you will agree with me that FRIENDSHIP is one of the major reasons that keeps us going…making our lives still worthwhile…with Friendship Day just knocking on the door, I would like to write my 1^st post on this blog about the most beautiful relationship made on this earth….here I’l be sharing some amazing thoughts on friendship by the famous poet and philosopher Khalil Gibran…that really left an impression on my heart…

Quoted by Khalil Gibran:

“ Your friend is your needs answered.

He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.

And he is your board and your fireside.

For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.

When your friend speaks his mind, you fear not the ‘nay’ in your own mind, nor do you withhold the ‘ay’.

And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart;

For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.

When you part from your friend, you grieve not;

For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.

And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth; and only the unprofitable is caught.

And let your best be for your friend.

If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its food also.

For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill?

Seek him always with hours to live.

For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness.

And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.

For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.”

These lovely words are for all those wonderful friends of mine who have been with me in my high’s and low’s and have made my life beautiful…m lucky to have you people…love you…HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY…
