"People are like stained glass windows.
They glow and sparkle when it's sunny and bright;
but when the sun goes down
their true beauty is revealed
only if there is a light from within."

I would give credit to the author if I knew who wrote this. I read it on a poster at school and I wanted to share it.

It's beautiful Scrabble and soooo true. Thanks for sharing it. It brings a smile to my face to think that it's a poster in a school.

I agree, Scrabble: That is beautiful . It's by thanatologist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. No, I didn't know that off the top of my head; I just did a peeky-boo via google.com .

That is beautiful ((Scrabbly)).

Did you see the link Kathy provided in a different forum here? It's amazing.

It is very beautiful and very thought-provoking, ((((((Scrabble)))))).

I met Elisabeth Kübler-Ross once (over 20 years ago). She attended a combination workshop/memorial 'thingy' for people who had lost family members while in our local visiting nurse/hospice during the year prior. I had my Mom moved from out of state into the local hospice.

It was because of her training and her beliefs that my Mom had such a 'good' death.

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross was an incredible human being -- it doesn't surprise me that she would say something so profound.

Thanks for sharing. HUGS for the room

Giving this a bump and missing some old friends. Hope this year is a good one for all.

Indeed, so beautiful.....

So beautiful.

How we, who as panes
Together form in color one by one
All hues and shades, the compassion bud
Which flies open fragrant, lit by sun
Or by the long awaited One

this group evokes love,
Without wondering.....I leave hugz for the room
