A glance at the Future--Kahlil Gibran; read by Rosko

[gerundive]

@Kanella2009

Thank you, but the voice isn't mine, but Rosko (William Roscoe Mercer), who was a radio DJ who died in 2000. His readings of Kahlil Gibran poetry was released on an album @1967, with the musical accompaniment by "The John Berberian Ensemble". My only contribution was the visual part.

Thank you for the videos, I first heard this in 1967. Wonderful to have your beautiful pictures added to the words and music.

No doubt, the voice was substantial, but Gibran's message IS even more so, and Rosko was just the man to deliver it!

The pleasure is mine, just to play a small part in illustrating Gibran's message.

[kamelamine2006]

all what he saw in the future is happening in the oposit direction, just have glane to the reality and compare what had said with what had happened,

[mysticalscrolls]

like smelling the perfume of too many rose...

my nose starts to ache

it is no longer pleasurable to keep my nose pressed to the petals

I can only read so many Kahlil Gibran poems...

my heart starts to throb

and it is no longer possible to deny the increase of blood flowing into the fire of my love

its no longer pleasurable to press through what should

sit with solitude as a companion

[jantosn]

A good one, thanks to you to make it possible to us to watch it..

[gerundive]

You're very welcome--I enjoyed making it--Kahlil Gibran has long been one of my heroes.

[eweyewewe]

this is what youtube is for!

[supplantersanchez]

Thank you.

[selasun]

Thank you for this gem! Love it!

[gerundive]

It is my pleasure--I'd been wanting to do something with that audio recording for a very long time, and of course had a bit of fun trying put some images with it--I was finally reunited with an LP recording of it that I'd bought in 1967.

With all my love for Gibran, I still can't understand how he could call the human the cornerstone of creation.

@cheng1LA

A small conceit on which mankind has ever stumbled.

[mamaserene]

This is so awesome...I have carried the words of Kahlil Gibran with me for decades...and this reading, with the images adds so much flavor to the already profound and timeless words....awesome work...

[SitPhraNaret]

This an excellentreading!!

Beautifully shown too!

Anymore?

[robertclemon]

Urgent truth here, heed the words of the prophet.

[LaHelen4real]

Wow this is wonderful, I know how hard is to put images to words, you did a wonderful job my friend :) 5*

khalil gebran , is from my country lebanon.

and from my hometown to be exact.

we truly adore him here. he's an example of art. he's a lebanese JIm morrison for many.

[gerundive]

A coincidence! He's also from MY planet---Earth! We love Kahlil Gibran here, too, although it seems not enough people on the planet know of him. If more people of this planet could see the world as Gibran did, we truly WOULD have HEAVEN on EARTH!

[chitchatkathy]

Truly majestic &the illustrations make this Arab poet's dream seem like a possible reality.Gibran's an Arab-American poet but his poetry of love & peace belongs to the world. Let's abide by his message 2 humanity especially in our direst time of need.Let's not misrepresent or misunderstand him the way we did all the prophets.He spoke 2 us all & it's no accident that he came from the East but lived in the West.If his words can't solve problems,let them make us TOLERATE each other just a bit more.

[kindu2006]

Beautifully recited!

Khalil Gibran reappears about every 20 years or so. My father heard this on the radio 40 years ago and loved it. What a surprise to find it here.
