A Soulful Journey

Kahlil Gibran wrote of people who stand with their backs to the sun and what is the sun to them but the caster of shadows? It is not easy to stand in the glare of the sun but it the way we face our fears.

  “Man struggles to find life outside himself unaware that the life he is seeking is within him.” –Kahlil Gibran

"Enlighten me as to the mystery of Woman."  And he answered, "Oh human heart, woman is your own reflection, and whatever you are, she is; wherever you live, she lives; she is like religion if not interpreted by the ignorant, and like a moon, if not veiled with clouds, and like a breeze, if not poisoned with impurities."  -Kahlil Gibran Is this not the same for every loving relationship?

" You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts.  You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell is the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.  You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.  For life goes not backward not tarries with yesterday.  For you are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.”     -  Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
