The Prophet

And knows that yesterday is but to-day’s memory and to-morrow is to-day’s dream.

How shall I go in peace and without sorrow? Nay, not without a wound in the spirit shall I leave this city.

And there are those who have little and give it all.
These are the believers in life and the bounty of life, and their coffer is never empty.
There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.

You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts;

For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?

AND then a scholar said, Speak of Talking.

or it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness.
And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.

And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.

And he is your board and your fireside.

Your friend is your needs answered.
