Now let us play hide and seek. Should you hide in my heart it would not be difficult to find you. But should you hide behind your own shell, then it would be useless for anyone to seek you.
A woman may veil her face with a smile.
Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky. We fell them down and turn them into paper that we may record our emptiness.
All our words are but crumbs that fall down from the feast of the mind.
The song that lies silent in the heart of a mother sings upon the lips of her child.
No longing remains unfulfilled.
Love and doubt have never been on speaking terms.
And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
The difference between the richest man and the poorest is but a day of hunger and an hour of thirst.

Each one of them is a masterpiece and full of wisdom. Thank you for sharing.
"Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky. We fell them down and turn them into paper that we may record our emptiness." That is so true!
Hopefully at some point at least a part of our species will actually read AND understand the documentation! It may be a trifle late by then ...but there's hope ..
gibran has always held an important part in my life as well...but tucked away in some corner of the inner most sanctum of my haert all covered in dust. stunbling here has given me an impetus to dust those old yellowu\ing words so that i can enjoy them once more.
and behind this choice i feel the warmth of a caring mother, a loving human being and a beautiful soul...
namaste!
