Sharing one of my favorite verses from Tagore’s The Gardener:
24
Do not keep to yourself the secret of your heart, my friend!
Say it to me, only to me, in secret.
You who smile so gently, softly whisper, my heart will hear it,
not my ears.
The night is deep, the house is silent, the birds’ nests are
shrouded with sleep.
Speak to me through hesitating tears, through faltering smiles,
through sweet shame and pain, the secret of your heart!
I recited this to my dear friends several times. “Speak your secret to me, my friend, My heart will hear it, not my ears.”
I created these “listening” videos for the second part of The Gardener.
