[First line taken from a Chinese Proverb] <br /> <br />Shade and light are different in every valley, <br />Arriving at different angles and different hours. <br />Judge me not if my shadows fall upon different stones, <br />If my light illuminates different trees and flowers. <br /> <br />You live within your valley, and it's a splendid place, <br />And if I could, I would visit all the time. <br />I live within my valley-quite different, it's true, <br />But still, for me, my valley, I think, is fine. <br /> <br />So, if all the places we visited were the same, <br />Far and near, my valley here, your valley there, <br />To travel all over this wide world, <br />Would be just like going... nowhere.<br /><br />Dennis Lambert<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tale-of-two-valleys-or-celebrate-differences/
