A Tear and a Smile beginning

"The God separated a spirit from Himself and fashioned it into Beauty. He showered upon her all the blessings of gracefulness and kindness. He gave her the cup of happiness and said, “Drink not from this cup unless you forget the past and the future, for happiness is naught but the moment.” And He also gave her a cup of sorrow and said, “Drink from this cup and you will understand the meaning of the fleeting instants of the joy of life, for sorrow ever abounds.”"

What beautiful, humane and lovely words, which blazon for me so much brighter, warmer and lovelier by having had a too sufficient amount of another non-artistic focus is, a shining beautiful eternal melancholic yet glad it happened kind of glow to it. A picture of reality, that contains it's own finitude, and yet seeing it is it continuing to be, in the moment. ty to my friend @Miram for putting this author Kahil Gibran to a more prominent importance, sorry for not diving in speedily, it is i believe in this phase to treat artistic writing to be the dessert to my steak and potato focus phase is.

But it's funny how the last LDS thing i was reading? It started off being the most engrossing, but then it got incredibly DRY, so i believe i was out of the reserves from the cumulative amounts of art enjoyed was all gone, not even any fumes!
