Smelling the Flowers 4

In the last posting on flowers, we explored Saba Afghani’s view that “The beauty of a garden is not solely from the flowers, but also the thorns.” [http://nuur-e-faanuus.blogspot.com/2006/06/smelling-flowers-3.html ]. Gumnaam also explores this concept. Similarly, in our project activities we will experience painful moments as well as joyful moments of success.

I have enjoyed the thorns’ prick and also the flowers’ fragrance.

In periods of pain, my heart both cried and laughed.

Surendar Malik ‘Gumnaam’

कांटों की चुभन पायी फूलों का मज़ा भी

दिल दर्द के मौसम में रोया भी हँसा भी

सुरेन्दर मलिक ‘गुमनाम’

کانٹوں کی چبھن پائ پھولوں کا مزہ بھی

دل درد کے موسم میں رویا ہنسا بھی

When we are in a difficult point in a project, we must remember that we can push through to get back into a more positive and happy position.
