Khalil Gibran:
I AM FOREVER walking upon these shores,
Betwixt the sand and the foam,
The high tide will erase my foot-prints,
And the wind will blow away the foam.
But the sea and the shore will remain
Forever.
They say to me in their awakening, "You and the world you live in are but a grain of sand upon the infinite shore of an infinite sea."
And in my dream I say to them, "I am the infinite sea, and all worlds are but grains of sand upon my shore."
Only once have I been made mute. It was when a man asked me, "Who are you?"
Remembrance is a form of meeting.
Forgetfulness is a form of freedom.
You are blind and I am deaf and dumb, so let us touch hands and understand.
My loneliness was born when men praised my talkative faults and blamed my silent virtues.
When Life does not find a singer to sing her heart she produces a philosopher to speak her mind.
The voice of life in me cannot reach the ear of life in you; but let us talk that we may not feel lonely.
Only the dumb envy the talkative.
Though the wave of words is forever upon us, yet our depth is forever silent.
Now let us play hide and seek. Should you hide in my heart it would not be difficult to find you. But should you hide behind your own shell, then it would be useless for anyone to seek you.
A woman may veil her face with a smile.
How noble is the sad heart who would sing a joyous song with joyous hearts.
Should you really open your eyes and see, you would behold your image in all images.
And should you open your ears and listen, you would hear your own voice in all voices.
They dip their pens in our hearts and think they are inspired.
We are all prisoners but some of us are in cells with windows and some without.
No source:
God gave me lot of things that I don’t even deserve. But took away many things that I should get.
The one who makes me fly away, have just flew away.
