Joy and Sadness

When you are born you cry,

but the whole world is overjoyed.

When you die the whole world cries,

but you may find the great liberation.

  4. many thanks for your kind comments …..

    I’ve had to take a trip due to family illness … and there’s been no internet where I’ve been. I have a brief stop-over here, where I’ve sent some mails, then another week out in the sticks.

    It’s really nice to hear your comments and am quite moved by that ….. thanks guys 🙂

    take care and best wishes ….

  5. Thinking of you. Missing your “voice.” Hope you and your loved ones are well. May we all, eventually, swiftly find the Great Liberation.
