I'm devouring a book called The Shack and at the beginning of each chapter, the author has a quote. The one in this post title, from Lebanese poet Kahlil Gibran, reached me, went straight to my head and my heart. I kept thinking the words over and over again...a wall between two gardens...beauty and growth on both sides....sadness is but a wall. It really propelled me....I weeded, took long bath, leisurely walk with Sug, enjoyed Dan's salad for dinner and we talked.

ReplyDeleteI have that book, it is recommended for people in recovery. I will read with you! Glad you are seeing some light.
ReplyDeleteSaw a good documentary this weekend called Maiden, about a 24 year old who decided that she wanted to sail around the world in the Whitford Cup, found no crew would add a woman, and took 3 years to get a boat, a sponsor, an all women crew, and do it in 1989. Recommended.

Liz, it's funny, IDK where I got the book. I know someone read it and passed it on to me, and I think I've had it since my Christmas drive to Maine, when I packed and unpacked it and packed it again, untouched. I find it moving and gracefully written. Now that you say it is recommended for people in recovery, I like it even more. The documentary you mention--my sister would love that. She is a sailor. I will tell her about it. Have a good day. Love, Alice
DeleteLiz, my Sis loved the Maiden suggestion. And it turned out she is the one who passed the book onto me. It is getting a bit theological now that I'm in the thick of it....xo
