Ebb and Flow
“For what is it to die but to stand naked
in the wind and to melt into the sun?
And what is it to cease breathing, but
to free the breath from its restless tides,
that it may rise and expand and seek God
unencumbered?”
The Prophet, On Death, Kahlil Gibran
“When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you love most in him
may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain
to the climber is clearer from the plain.”
The Prophet, On Friendship, Kahlil Gibran
