On Pain

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
Even as the stone of the fruit must break,
that its heart may stand in the sun,
so must you know of pain. – Khalil Gibran

On Love

To wake at dawn with a winged heart
And give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon’s hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart
And a song of praise upon your lips. – Khalil Gibran

Who causes us pain and then this glorious love?
