In searching for relief from the pain of loosing my sweet friend Tom, I came across the following quote by Kahilil Gibran, On Joy and Sorrow:
"When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight."
I have lost a special friend of 30 years. A piece of me gone forever, but never will I forget him.

Tom loved the Prophet. He discovered a recording of it by Richard Harris and used to listen to it frequently when we were in NYC; often gave a copy of the cassette to friends. He also loved As A Man Thinketh by James Allen.
ReplyDeleteTom shared Richard Harris with me some months ago. He apparently never got tired of it....he told me stories about how much he has loved listening to it over the years. Interesting to be hearing the same story now in this way.
ReplyDeleteHe took pleasure in sharing his favorites with me.....lots of movies & music...alot of pleasure for both of us.
