~ LOVE ~
by Kahlil Gibran - "The Prophet"
Then said Almitra, "Speak to us of Love". And Almustafa 'The Beloved', raised his head and looked upon the people, and there fell a stillness upon them. And with a great voice he said:
"When love beckons to you, follow it,
Though Love's ways are hard and steep.
And when Love's wings enfold you yield to them,
Though the sword hidden among its pinions may wound you.
And when Love speaks to you believe in it,
Though Love's voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as Love crowns you so shall it crucify you.
Even as Love is for your growth so is it for your pruning.
Even as Love ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall Love descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Like sheaves of corn Love gathers you unto itself.
It threshes you to make you naked.
It sifts you to free you from your husks.
It grinds you to whiteness.It kneads you until you are pliant;
And then Love assigns you to its sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.
All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.
