the art of living

the art of living is to know when to hold fast and when to let go .for life is a paradox .it enjoins us to cling to its many gifts even while it ordains their eventual relinequishment .the rabbis of old put it this way :a man comes to this world with his fist clenched ,but when he dies ,his hand is open .surely we ought to hold fast to life ,for it is wondrons ,and full of a beauty that breaks through every pore of God's own earth.
