from the Prophet by Kahlil Gibran: ...When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, "I am in the heart of God." And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Love has no other desire than to fulfill itself. But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and
give thanks for another day of loving; To
rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstacy; To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer
for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips. |
