And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
Khalil Gibran

But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure, then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor, into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Should we all confess our sins to one another we would all laugh at one another for our lack of originality
Khalil Gibran
Image
I am forever walking upon these shores, Betwixt the sand and the foam, The high tide will erase my food prnts, And the wind will blow away the foam, But the sea and the shore will remain forver
Khalil Gibran
Image
For the sight of the angry weather saddens my soul and the sight of the town, sitting like a bereaved mother beneath layers of ice, oppresses my heart.
Khalil Gibran
Image
It was but yesterday I thought myself a fragment quivering without rhythm in the sphere of life. Now I know that I am the sphere, and all life in rhythmic fragments moves within me.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And if you would know God, be not therefore a solver of riddles. Rather look about you and you shall see Him playing with your children.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Spare me the political events and power struggles, as the whole earth is my homeland and all men are my fellow countrymen.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When I planted my pain in the field of patience it bore fruit of happiness.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison?
