SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL. BIG AND SMALL NEED TO GO TOGETHER. SMALL DOES NOT BECOME INSIGNIFICANT, NOR BIG, BY VIRTUE OF ITS BIGNESS GAIN GLORIFICATION. THE RUSTICS IN THE POEM PENNED BY OLIVER GOLDSMITH CAPTIONED ""VILLAGE SCHOOL MASTER" WERE WONDER STRUCK WHEN THE SCHOOL MASTER WAS ABLE TO TALK ON SUBJECTS OR SOLVE PROBLEMS FROM PIN TO PLANE. THEY EXCLAIMED 'HOW THE SMALL HEAD COULD CARRY ALL THE NEWS'. THOUGH THE WORLD IS VAST, WHAT IS NOT SMALL IN THIS WORLD?. EVENTHOUGH THE HUMAN FRAME IS NOT SO SIGNIFICANTLY BIG, THE HUMAN HEAD,THE BRAIN, THE HEART, EARS, THE EYES AND THE OBJECTS WE SEE THROUGH THE EYES ARE ALL SMALL. IS IT BECAUSE THE HEAD IS SMALL, WE REFRAIN FROM THINKING 'BIG'!. IS IT BECAUSE THE HEART IS SMALL, WE ARE NOT LARGE-HEARTED! THE FEET, WHICH ARE SMALL, GET INTO SHOES WHICH ARE ALSO SMALL. THE SAYING WHICH RUNS THAT 'THE WEARER KNOWS WHERE THE SHOE PINCHES' GOES TO SHOW THAT COMPASSION IS BOTH SMALL AS WELL AS A BIG POSSESSION OF THE HUMAN RACE. THE SMALL HOLES IN A FLUTE GIVE RISE TO MELODIOUS MUSIC WHEN THE SMALL LIPS ESTABLISH HARMONIOUS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FLUTE. 'SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL' WHEREAS SMALL MINDEDNESS IS UGLIER THAN WHAT THE MIRROR CAN REFLECT WHEN WE STAND IN ITS FRONT

Yes! Nothing fades. It is the mind that makes a stone wall of prisons. It is again the mind that makes a heaven of hell or hell of heaven. If you say that it is love that defies time and lives beyond time, it is possible to raise the question whether it lives beyond one's life time. Love lives neither in icy dew, nor in paise due. A cupboard love is seldom true, but a love sincere found in few. Whether tulips fades or not, whether it spreads it fragrance or not, for TULIPS67, it must be remaining in a blossoming state spreading it fragrance in all directions. I share TULIPS67 feelings, why not you SAMYUKTA.

# re: SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL oh this is beautiful : "....THE SMALL HOLES IN A FLUTE GIVE RISE TO MELODIOUS MUSIC ..." by the way Tuliip67, is it true that a Tulip never fades ?

Time and tide wait for no man. Time is said to be the essence of a contract. The dawn and dusk are time bound. In other words, there is a limit to everything. But the ingenuity of man, courtesy, the Almighty, is endless.I can only wish that time favours you in your 'wild goose chase'
