I asked an old man: “Which is more important? To love or to be loved?” The old man replied: “Which is more important to a bird? The left wing or the right wing?”
When the boys were little and asked me which one of them was my favorite, I’d respond, that one is my heart, the other is my soul – which one was preferable to the other..
both are needed to fly. (funny, the first thing i thought of when seeing the title was that it was about politics – left wing and right wing politicians do need each other right now to break the impasse, problem is – they each are trying to fly with just one wing, why the government shutdown is now happening.)
Funny, I thought the same thing. I was so pleasantly surprised when I opened the message and discovered, instead, that is was a beautiful passage that evoked contemplation. Two perfect posts for Sunday morning, pal–compassion and love….
