My confusion of Life

Not feeling good recently, everything cross on my mind but left nothing but more confuse, try to be calm down by reading this poem...does it work?? Dunno...


On Marriage

 Kahlil Gibran

 

You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.

You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.

Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness,

And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

 

 

Love one another, but make not a bond of love:

Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.

Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf

Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,

Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

 

 

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.

For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.

And stand together yet not too near together:

For the pillars of the temple stand apart,

And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.

halllahh...missing that time ( when we're still single) ? kasihan tuh Gaby he..he.he ( I was only joking mbak Ita)

Yach, maksudnya missing the time when we feel free like a bird, he..he..., Gaby is my precious gift, cuna kadang2 mikir being single is not as complicated as being couple gitu loh. Kalo single kan cuma mikir satu orang aja, tp kalo couple mesti mikir keseluruhan termasuk si mbak dan si bibi juga.
Jadi inget artikel lama yg pernah gw upload neh di http://itawidiastanti.multiply.com/journal/item/25/Marriage_and_Love
intinya bener juga kali ""To be happy with man you must understanding a lot and love him a little,
to be happy with woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her
at all"
Just wondering...
