SAND AND STONE
« on: September 27, 2007, 10:11:49 PM »
Two friends were walking through the desert.

During one point in the journey, they
had an argument, and one friend slapped
the other one in the face.

The one who got slapped was hurt, but
without saying anything, she wrote in
the sand:

"Today, my best friend slapped me in the
face."

They kept on walking until they found an
oasis. They decided to go swimming.

The one who had been slapped got stuck
in the mire and started drowning. But
the friend saved her.

After she recovered from the near
drowning, she wrote on a stone:

"Today, my best friend saved my life."

The friend who had slapped and saved her
best friend asked, "After I hurt you,
you wrote in the sand. And now, you
write on the stone. Why?"

The friend replied, "When someone hurts
us, we should write it down in the sand,
where the winds of forgiveness can erase
it away.

"But when someone does something good
for us, we must engrave it in stone
where no wind can ever erase it."

Learn to write your hurts in the sand
and to carve your blessings in stone.
