Hi David and all. As a Buddhist I like to cultivate seeds of inner peace by healing all my relationships even with difficult people. I am browsing Thich Naht Hahn's (A buddhist monk and poet) reflections
Peace is Every step.

Just quickly want to share some poems by my favorite poet Tagore

a page from my site Soul Songs (the link not working)

I have found that giving a small gift or even a sincere compliment or kind word will help to heal a relationship. Healing begins when we give what we want to hold on to or to those we do not like. If the relationship is very strained, just giving the benefit of a doubt is a very good start. This has helped heal my relationship with a very difficult co-worker.
Healing is a wonderful process that encompasses so much of our inner journey. The hardest person to forgive is oneself and so often I have found that to be the first step. I came across a definition of a hug in one of my old poems the other day as being "the unconditional acceptance of another as an equal" and another little thought this time from a Christian friend of mine "Giving is not giving unless it hurts"...just thought of that as I read your words Sabriyah.

By the way Susmita i found the link worked...but the poems are protected so cannot be copied...they are very special. As you get older and people in your life begin to die it gets that little bit harder to realise that we should have mended some of those relationships...but there agian some of them did not want to mend them; or is that just a cop-out?
Hi David

The translations are mine (i probably need to mention that). And as far as I know the copyright from Tagore poems (bengali original) have been taken off. (search wikipedia). So you may copy them if you like.

The copyright/fair use notice is for the entire site and individual pages, someone suggested I do that.

Peace
