Quote

Cover me with soft earth, and let each handful be mixed With seeds ofjasmine, lilies, and myrtle and when they Grow above me and thrive on my body's element they will Breathe the fragrance of my heart into space.

If you sing of beauty though alone in the heart of the desert you will have an audience.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Thus with my lips have I denounced you, while my heart, bleeding within me, called you tender names.
Khalil Gibran

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
Your friend is your needs answered. He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving. And he is your board and your fireside. For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.
Khalil Gibran

A minute moving among the patterns of beauty and the dreams of love is greater and more precious than an age filled with splendor granted by the weak to the strong.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Only love and death will change all things.
Khalil Gibran
Image
He was gentle, like a man mindful of his own strength. In my dreams I beheld the kings of the earth standing in awe in His presence.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A God who is good knows no segregation amongst words or names. And were a God to deny his blessing to those who pursue a different path to eternity, there would be no human who should offer worship.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Real beauty lies in the spiritual accord that is called love which can exist between a man and a woman.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You see but your shadow when you turn your back to the sun.
Khalil Gibran
