“I slept and dreamt that life was all joy,
I awoke and found that life was but service
I served and understood that service was joy”
— Rabindranath Tagore, Poet and Nobel Laureate
(Plaque at the entrance of Methodist Hospital TMC, Houston).
Hope:
The blackbird sings in the dark of the night, because it knows that the Sun will rise next morning.
(Or is this the quote: "Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark")
If you ever meet my countrymen who do not know this quote, charge him!
I like Gandhi and Tagore. But, Tagore more because there is something mystical about Tagore and his writings.
10/20/2011: Had lunch with this beloved oncologist in UTHouston (Adan Rios, MD). First, he came and sat in table close to me saying "O'Lord, Thank you for the food and company" "A small prayer!" "French radio played Tagore's drama on hope/survival as the last broadcast when Nazi's took over the station during World War II."
