The life of the flower is hope and fulfillment and peace; tears and laughter…
The life of clouds is a life of farewell and a life of reunion; tears and laughter.
Thus the spirit separates itself from the body and walks into the world of substance, passing like clouds over the valleys of sorrow and mountains of happiness until it meets the breeze of death and returns to its starting place, the endless ocean of love and beauty which is God.
Kahil Gibran further writes in his forward of Tears and Laughter;
Tears the purify my heart and reveal to me the secret of life and its mystery,
Laughter that brings me closer to my fellow men;
Tears with which I join the broken-hearted,
Laughter that symbolizes joy over my very existence.
