"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 other's 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 other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together, yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow."
"What was Khalil Gibran saying in this excerpt of 'The Prophet'?" He was not surprised to see one hand shoot into the air. He followed the slender fingers to a petite palm. His gaze moved to regard her thin wrist, and deceptively, but equally, as thin forearm. Finally, Kakashi met her eye. "Miss Haruno, can you give the other students a chance?"
The pinkette smirked, wrinkling her nose cutely. "Puh-lease, Hatake, this is a community college. You think any of them know who Gibran even is?" Protests echoed throughout the small room, resulting in an overdramatic roll of her emerald eyes. Her pink hair wafted around her face as she pointed a few students out.
"Do you?" A shaken head. "You?" Another negative response. "I won't even bother asking you, Pig!"
"Shut up, Forehead. We're not all over-achievers like you!"
Her point having been made, the roseate crossed her arms, haughtily looking down her nose at Kakashi as she did so. He sighed, and waved his hand in the universal signal for 'anytime, now.'
"Khalil Gibran was saying that two people can be committed to eachother, without feeling co-dependant on eachother. That they should give love freely, but not too freely, because, as creations of God or whatever, we are ultimately to give our whole hearts to Him or Her or... well... yeah."
"Eloquent as always, Miss Haruno." Kakashi had no clue how she could sound so intelligent and so absolutely idiotic at the same time. Did she practice in a mirror? She was making that pinched, arrogant face at him again. That face that just made him want to- do... nothing. Because if he did anything about it, he would be fired and sued... or sued and fired. Any combination of the two was bad, actually.
"Well, fine, Hatake. What do YOU think he was saying?"
Without thought, he flipped a hand idly and retorted, "Dont use superglue as lube."
