We're about to start filming again. As always with Slings, I've re-read the Shakespeare play we'll be doing. I've learned my lines.
Well, mostly. *grins* I'm doing better than Martha, though.
Additionally, I've been re-reading The Prophet by Gibran. Two sections made me think this time, in different ways. In speaking of friendship, the Prophet answers, "Your friend is your needs answered." And later in that passage, "...without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with a joy that is unacclaimed." And while it may seem a bit negative, this resonated as well, "For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absense, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain."
Interesting and thought-provoking words.
When Gibran brings up time, he ties it to love. In an unusual way. "Who amoung you does not feel that his power to love is boundless? And yet who does not feel that very love, though boundless, encompassed within the centre of his being, and moving not from love thought to love thought, not from love deeds to other love deeds?"
May mean different things to different people. To me, they mean many things, yet nothing negative to me in these words. Nothing at all.
