Art of Living & Loving - Part Ii

The demonstration which the teacher gave was simple He asked any two of us to sit on a table facing each other The he put a hanky on my partner’s eyes Making the other one blind for a while And he placed seven small mouth cups, on the table here and there And gave me seven different small pieces of chalks To place them on the table at different spots Without my partner seeing the placing of cups & chalks over there He asked me to give instructions to my partner To pick the chalk of my choice and color As per the instructions to be given by me Without touching the table or any thing lying on it And to move his hand, as per the inch by inch directions To be given by me The first few attempts were erratic and not that easy Till I placed my entire personality on the chair of my friend And started giving directions to my partner As I myself was to lift and move my hand From picking up the chalk to Dropping it in the cup from a height of one feet at least We both began to enjoy that game from that day on wards By exchanging the positions, to make the blind the other one And gradually I found what a beautiful game it was Which can be played between persons of any age difference It makes both the player to understand life better Understanding each others weaknesses and strengths together And keeping a room for your partner views Is the secret of the Art of Living and Loving since ever.
