There are no squares in nature

Self-Development, Words of Wisdom Add comments

Aug 252008

Come to think of it, when have you ever seen the following?

A square leaf

A square fruit

A square tree

A square raindrop

Coming to think of it, nature, unlike man, does not produce

Square moons

Square suns

Square planets

Or square galaxies

There are no square rainbows

Nor square flowers

Nor square heads

that could fit inside a square box

Yet more often than not, that's exactly what we do.

We try to put everything inside a box

We try to make all things black and white

We try to make everything spic and span

as though we could put a square peg inside a round hole

and then congratulate ourselves for the feat we have done

Since the dawn of man-made technology,

we have certainly lived in a world of squares:

square houses

square buildings

square computer screens

We write on square papers using square tables

We sleep on square beds and enter upon square doors

Where has all these taken us?

These square things have made a war with our own hearts

And against all mysteries that enrich and empower us

The next time someone tries to put your immortal soul inside a small box

Kindly remind yourself:

There are no square stars in the Universe.

Agnes { Dear Joyce, Hi! I have been an avid reader of your blog about a year an a half ago when I too have been experiencing heartbreak and burden in my life. Your words have really been a pat on my shoulder and a hug rolled in one. I am now in a year long relationship and life has been treating me well. It is not a perfect relationship, we do have our shares of ups and downs but we come out of each as a better individual and we grow and learn together through those past mistakes. I just... } – Feb 05, 3:53 PM

faith { Hi joyce, i feel that im at the lowest point of my life...late last year i found out that my bf ( for 6 months) is still going steady with her prior gf. i was crushed after learning that he fooled me for 6 months that we are together. but since i love him so much, i forgave him with his promise that he will end things with her and come back to me clean slate. but he did not come back at all. he said he was empty after breaking up with her (doubt if they really did break... } – Jan 29, 2:20 PM
Tanya { Dear Joyce, I don't have a husband who physically abuses me but i have one who does so verbally and emotionally. He doesn't care whether we be in public places like malls, offices etc he just feels he needs to, in his own terms, "vent out his spleen". He had called me many things and often times says that i am stupid. He said i needed to reform, and that the only way was "his way". for the past year i have been doing all he asks of me, i am not allowed to talk to my friends, neither am... } – Jan 24, 9:16 AM
