A mountain chapel

Today I visited a mountain chapel on 1045 m altitude in Switzerland. It is a cute, small chapel and the colours inside full of a very intensive green light. I was so inspired when I found a saying from Tagore, that I would like to share it with you.
It is in German:
Ich schlief und träumte, das Leben wäre Freude. Ich erwachte und sah, das Leben war Pflicht. Ich handelte und siehe, die Pflicht war Freude
Here my translation in English:
I slept and dreamt that life would be joy. I woke up and saw that life was duty. I acted and hence, duty was joy.
Thank you
Thank you for your soulful post, and for reminding us of Tagore's immortal utterance.
