If you stop understanding life and enjoy living it, your understanding of life will be complete.
When I was just a lad of ten, my father said to me,
Come here and learn a lesson from the lovely lemon tree.
Dont put your faith in love, my boy, my father said to me,
I fear youll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree.
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
Beneath the lemon tree one day, my love and I did a lie
A girl so sweet that when she smiled the sun rose in the sky.
We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree
The music of her laughter hid my fathers words from me:
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
One day she left without a word. she took away the sun.
And in the dark she left behind, I knew what she had done.
Shed left me for another, its a common tale but true.
A sadder man but wiser now I sing these words to you:
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.

If we could spend half the time understanding ourselves,
that we spend analysing others.”

“Learn to capture the flash else all you will get is darkness”(JJ08*)
Most brillant thots came as a flash, and when they do they seem pretty simple.Thats because at that plane they are simple.Be active, capture that moment for it will illuminate many mysteries of life if you ruminate on it.

“I love you enough to forgive,
not enough to forget .” (jj08)
wifey & me aruged this point till day break. She strongly says one must never forget …. i say u cannot truly forgive unless you forget.
She says you forget u get hurt again.
I say U dont forget it keeps burning slowly like coal cauing pain.
She says that ensures not to repeat the same mistake.
I am still thinkinn… and the above line popped up.
I came across this short but excellent conversational piece …..enjoi
Two Tibetan Monks meet each other a few years after being released from prison, where they had been tortured by their jailers.
“Have you forgiven them?” asks the first
“I will never forgive them! Never!” replies the second
“Well,” says the first monk, “I guess they still have you in prison, don’t they?”
