This
is something so beautiful just read the depth of it..,...I hired a plumber to
help me restore an old farmhouse, and after he had just finished a rough first
day on the job: a flat tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric drill
quit and his ancient one ton truck refused to start.
While
I drove him home, he sat in stony silence. On arriving, he invited me in to
meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at
a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands.
When
opening the door he underwent an amazing transformation.. His face was wreathed
in smiles and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss.
Afterward
he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of
me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier.
'Oh,
that's my trouble tree,' he replied 'I know I can't help having troubles on the
job, but one thing's for sure, those troubles don't belong in the house with my
wife and the children.. So I just hang them up on the tree every night when I
come home and ask God to take care of them. Then in the morning I pick them up
again.' 'Funny thing is,' he smiled,' when I come out in the morning to pick
'em up, there aren't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night
before.
THIS
ONE IS WORTH SENDING ON.
Life
may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well
dance.
We
all need a Tree!
Why
we shout when in anger -
'A
Hindu saint who was visiting river Ganges to take bath found a group of family
members on the banks, shouting in anger at each other. He turned to his
disciples smiled’n asked.
‘Why
do people shout in anger shout at each other?’
Disciples
thought for a while, one of them said,’Because we lose our calm, we shout.’
‘But,
why should you shout when the other person is just next to you? You can as well
tell him what you have to say in a soft manner.’asked the saint
Disciples
gave some other answers but none satisfied the other disciples.
Finally
the saint explained, .
‘When
two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. To cover that
distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are,
the stronger they will have to shout to hear each other to cover that great
distance.
What
happens when two people fall in love? They don’t shout at each other but talk
softly, Because their hearts are very close. The distance between them is
either nonexistent or very small…’
The
saint continued,’When they love each other even more, what happens? They do not
speak, only whisper’n they get even closer to each other in their love. Finally
they even need not whisper, they only look at each other’n that’s all. That is
how close two people are when they love each other.’
He
looked at his disciples and said.
‘So
when you argue do not let your hearts get distant, Do not say words that
distance each other more, Or else there will come a day when the distance is so
great that you will not find the path to return.’
