The book was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/users\/gracedoctor07\/14462.html\">recommended<\/a> by my cousin, <lj user=gracedoctor07>, and I picked it up from the library last week. Wow, what a book! Just a whole lot of wisdom in those 94 pages, I am going to have to read it again&#8230; and again. Ok a lot of times, it&#8217;s wonderful.<\/p>\n<p><i> Love one another but make not a bond of love:<\/p>\n<p>Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.<\/p>\n<p>Fill each other&#8217;s cup but drink not from one cup.<\/p>\n<p>Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.<\/p>\n<p>Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,<\/p>\n<p>Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.<\/p>\n<p>Give your hearts, but not into each other&#8217;s keeping.<\/p>\n<p>For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.<\/p>\n<p>And stand together, yet not too near together:<\/p>\n<p>For the pillars of the temple stand apart,<\/p>\n<p>And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other&#8217;s shadow. <\/i><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to need to find a nice copy to add to my library. It&#8217;s an older book, and the full text is available online: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.columbia.edu\/~gm84\/gibtable.html\">http:\/\/www.columbia.edu\/~gm84\/gibtable.html<\/a>, but holding it in your hands while quietly sitting in a happy place is oh so nice. Why hadn&#8217;t I heard of this book before? Apparently it&#8217;s quite popular.<\/p>\n<p>Going to put my pajamas on now. *yawn*<\/lj-cut><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The other night we went to Fins, Feathers, Paws and Claws to pick up some catfood and check out their fish selection.
