While the song I came to sing remains unsung

Rabindranath Tagore
June 2001 (Vol. XIV, No. 6)
I have spent my days
stringing and unstringing
my instrument
While the song I came to sing
remains unsung.

Quote of the Day

She is from God’s world -- a direct disciple, I think, sent down to brighten our lives and teach us of higher things.To me she is beauty itself—the word came after her presence.Each time she smiles, I can only cry, and I think of something I read about the sadness of beauty: just to find it is not hard, but to bear it, that is impossible.If she were totally aware of the beauty she was creating, she would stop in awe of herself.She somehow makes life so much more than it is.

~ from WINTER SEASON by Tony Bentley
