I am the lover's gift I am the wedding wreath I am the memory of a moment of happiness I am the last gift of the living to the dead I am a part of joy and a part of sorrow.

In the depth of my soul there is A wordless song - a song that lives In the seed of my heart. It refuses to melt with ink on Parchment it engulfs my affection In a transparent cloak and flows, But not upon my lips.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Even as the holy and the righteous cannot rise beyond the highest which is in each one of you, so the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also.
Khalil Gibran
Image
In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond.
Khalil Gibran

Zeal is a volcano, the peak of which the grass of indecisiveness does not grow.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And you receivers - and you are all receivers - assume no weight of gratitude, lest you lay a yoke upon yourself and upon him who gives. Rather rise together with the giver on his gifts as on wings For to be overmindful of your debt, is to doubt his generosity who has the free hearted earth for mother, and God for father.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Is not dread of thirst when your well is full, the thirst that is unquenchable?
Khalil Gibran
