Things
Narcissists Do

For me, the work of Kahlil Gibran falls into

the second category.
Lebanese born, educated in New York,
Paris and Beirut, he was the third bestselling poet in history, and his words
sparked a literary revolution. Best known
in the West for his book, The Prophet,
Gibran lived from 1883 to 1931, but his
legacy survived much longer, messages
of universal love, freedom and tolerance
taking root in the countercultural soil of
the American sixties.
I set out to offer you ten of my favorite
passages from his writing, but as you will
see, it is simply too brilliant to stop so
soon.
Each of these quotes has at some point
touched me deeply. I have no words to
express the profound impact of this
poetry, and I hope it will leave you
speechless as well:
One day you will ask me which is more

For what is it to die but to stand naked in
the wind and to melt into the sun? And
when the earth shall claim your limbs,
then shall you truly dance.

Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a
mirror.
But you are eternity and you are the
mirror.
~
Let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance
between you.
Love one another, but make not a bond of
love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the
shores of your souls.
Fill each others cup but drink not from
one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat
not from the same loaf
Sing and dance together and be joyous,
but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone
though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each others
keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your
hearts.
And stand together yet not too near
together:

My friend, I am not what I seem.
Seeming is but a garment I wear a carewoven garment that protects me from thy
questionings and thee from my
negligence. The I in me, my friend,
dwells in the house of silence, and therein
it shall remain for ever more, unperceived,
unapproachable.

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that
encloses your understanding.
Even as the stone of the fruit must break,
that its heart may stand in the sun, so
must you know pain.
And could you keep your heart in wonder
at the daily miracles of your life, your pain
would not seem less wondrous than your
joy;
And you would accept the seasons of
your heart, even as you have always
accepted the seasons that pass over your
fields.

another day; and no sunrise finds us

Love gives naught but itself and takes

To measure you by your smallest deed
