[CLIFFxMUSTAINE]

i had to read this book with a dictionary but it was worth it

thank you LAYNE STALEY for introducing me to this book

[pootnikalexander]

When the whiteness of my canvas cried out for color, no face was worthy of my brush but that of Kalil Gibran.

[2009jcmar]

Khalil Girbran encourage hes people to stop leaving under oppression. Hes quotas were mentioned and copy by President Kennedy, Nelson Mandela and Mother Theresa. to mention a few. He was born in Lebanon as Lebanese citizen, and die as citizen of the world. Hes ways of seem the world is what we missing today.

[Godsahumanist]

Beyond religious books, that tell you what men (and only ever men interestingly) thought centuries ago, do you have any new thoughts, insights or perceptions of your own

Religion teaches you to follow but does it teach you to be original, create, think new thoughts, act in new ways from new evidence

Or do you just quote what has been written and said by unknown men centuries before as your justification for life choices

Gibran makes me think more than any religious book, he humanises me.

[sufiest666]

To take the forest as your endless home instead of the castles

To follow her eternal rivers and to climb her walls

And to drink the dawn in a glasses made out of ether

Great gibran, you will always be in our silent memory, and you will always be the son of Geat Syria

[eemc2203]

the Soul of Lebanon; gone these days.

Sad the entire Middle East.

[eemc2203]

very sensitive soul

[dropsofmusic]

sounds wise but don't really get all of it. not eat from the same bread? doesn't make sense anyone get it. I thought the whole purpose was to be one not to seperate togther? I get the space thing but hmmm. if anyone gets this please reply i am curious,tnx

[YGRoundNo2]

@dropsofmusic

"Give one another of your bread, but eat not from the same loaf."

I understand it to mean that the two people in a marriage should not smother each other with too much closeness.

Also, the book is written in an older style of English, one further back in time in the family tree of languages, and closer to (for example) German, which is why the word order is:

"..eat not from.." .. instead of today's English, in which the word order would be:

"..[do] not eat from.."

[TheBevaLee]

@dropsofmusic from what I can understand they have to go seperate ways for a time, throughout lifetimes.... to learn about life from different perspectives or points of views, before reuniting as One. That's what it feels like to me. I"d have to see the vid again cuz .. I just dropped in but hadn't heard this vid for a few weeks at least. If I'm right, If I udnerstand then reunion would be like returning home for much deeply needed nurishment from one's own soul. Very dramatic.

[trespire]

@dropsofmusic Hello. We can ask ourselves: What do we recieve from bread. What does bread give us. What does bread symbolize?"

Is giving bread and giving of your bread the same act.

When we give of our bread, what are we realy giving.

[TheBevaLee]

I've heard of Khalil Gibran ... the name that is. This is the first time I've ever seen his words. Brought tears to my eyes... about winds of the heavens. I wrote a poem speaking of the 4 winds on this very topic... yet knew it not ... that someone had taught an actual lesson on it. But surely this man's words are not meant to imply that Twins be seperated for all time. That cannot be truth. In fact, in history is not truth... so maybe he means .. dont drown each, let ea. 1 grow.

[YGRoundNo2]

@TheBevaLee

Yes, kinda like that.

Let's hear your own poems some time.

[TheBevaLee]

@YGRoundNo2 I recently put up one on touching on this topic .. one of my own poems .. it's listed on my profile on my channel. too long to place here I think. If you have moment .. Please check it out .. let me know what you think. Please have a terrific day.

[MyLavendel]

[kelabuputeh]

:) hmmm.. touching to my deepest soul..romantic :)

[broke2471]

Khalil Gibrain such a wonderful prophet, writer and philopher. Love all of his work.

[ZenSporty]

I fell in love with his written work in the late '80s and subsequently last year I was honoured to speak at my nephew's wedding...after years of silence in the family, he came to 'peace and love' and acceptance of life...and embraced family....

And thus I took the reading of "marriage' and presented at the wedding. Not a dry eye was met and smiles from everyone for my nephew and his bride were then joined in holy matrimony....

[rockchick80s]

Sorry - had to post my comment in two parts - Too long winded as usual LOL

[rockchick80s]

If you allow yourself to be swallowed up by another, when it is their time to leave you will find the pain difficult to endure. Pain is inevitable suffering is an option. The last line is so true - when you truly love someone you must let them grow and develop alongside you not as an extension of you. Life is about Spiritual development and it is something we must undertake alone, but, we can still share ourselves to a certain degree with our loved ones. Other people may read it differently.

[rockchick80s]

Wonderful Poem and no you dont have to be married or be in love to understand it. What it says to me is - Soul Mates - born at the exact same time but perhaps on different continents, will come together when the Universe decides its time. You should love, care, respect each other but always be aware that you are seperate enteties brought together to help each other grow spiritualy.

[trinasmi]

I don't get it. I hear of this man off of a tv show I like. But I don't get this poem like the one I hear previously. I wonder do i need to have exprienced real love or need to be married. I'll just read the next one.

[2009jcmar]

Gibran was a men whose phylosophy create great impact once you have any of his books, in your hands. His words of love and his methepor of human unjustice, make you realize that God give us the gift to choose from right and wrong from love and war. But in the end we are all just passing by....

[ytcomposer]

What on earth was that song? Please tell me if you know.

[Yanna109]

I'm not sure, but it may be from Franko Zeffirelli's film "Romeo and Julliett" OST

[IandYou0]

its called Love Song

[K4Khmer]

I think its called "A Time for Us" from Romeo and Juliet. You can find it on youtube.

[peace2pits]

What a beautiful vid. I have often given THE PROPHET as my wedding gift to the new couple, so that they remain blessed , and live and grow together.
