Marvelous selection.

I'm using his chapter on marriage as my wedding vows. :c)

i actually got this poem in a letter from my birthmother...
gibran seems to be important in more than one aspect then. congratulations :)

Ah- the piece you posted is only one chapter in the book. He has a chapter on love, marriage, children, work, death, religion... It's a masterpiece, and I highly recommend it.

I actually just bought it for 77 cents on amazon! thanks! :)

Wow.

Such profound words.

especially coming from the context I first saw them in. strange how that can be so vital in assigning value to something...

This is my favorite section of The Prophet. It was nice to see it pop up on my screen:)
