“I ask for my freedom back. Will you be content with a free companion? Can you stare at the face of the sun with open eyes or grasp the fire with steady hands?” ~ Kahlil Gibran
What is your go to book for inspiration? Nine times out of ten I reach for poetry. It soothes me like no other written words…reminding me of the ineffable quality of our existence and the infinite nature of our hearts.
Kahlil Gibran was a poet, philosopher and artist known to inspire many on the path of love, marriage and spiritual union with his most famous book The Prophet along with numerous other short texts. This sweet and inspiring 100 page read is delightfully honest and fulfilling in its ability to give voice to that which is rarely spoken and nearly impossible to grasp.
“In the depths of my soul there are songs unwilling to take the garb of words, songs living as seed in my heart. They will not flow with ink onto paper. Like a translucent veil, they are wrapped about emotions that can never flow sweetly on my tongue.”
