Rabindranath Tagore personified

I love Face book and I love computers.   And today, I received a FB quote from my long-time Charleston friend, Martha Harper Dillon  (we spent a lot of time together at New Bethel Baptist Church when Daddy was pastoring there).  Here is the quote:   "Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark."   Good, good thought to me.  Written by Rabindranath Tagore.  What!

Never heard of such a person in my limited brain so I rushed to computer.  He received the Nobel Prize in Literature.  From India.   And it was noted he changed life in his country in literature.  That gave him instant credibility in my mind as well as the fact that the quote, itself, is provocative and mind-blowing.   Thanks to computers, Mr. Tagore and Martha for a new, insightful focus today.   We can learn about faith from the simplest pewsitter to the Nobel Prize winners.   It's a matter of seeking!  I am still listening for the bird that sings!
