HAPPIEST SEASON OF LIFE
On this ‘International Day of Happiness’ (20th
March), let me share with you the following quotation which I came across a
long time ago. It is attributed to an aged man who did not disclose his name and
to the question , “Which is the happiest season of life”, he replied :
“When
spring comes, and in the soft air the buds are breaking on the trees, and they
are covered with blossoms. I think, how beautiful is spring ! And when
the summer comes, and covers the trees with its heavy foliage, and singing
birds are among the branches, I think, how beautiful is summer ! When autumn
loads them with golden fruit, and their leaves bear the gorgeous tint of frost, I think, how
beautiful is autumn ! And when it is sere winter, and there is neither foliage
nor fruit , then I look up through the leafless branches, as I never could
until now, and see the stars shine.”
