- The Prophet: On Death, by Kahlil Gibran
Almitra spoke, saying, We would ask now of Death.
But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?
If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life......
For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one......trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity....
Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour.
For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?
And what is it to cease breathing but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?
Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
Too Tall, may you dance, climb, claim, melt and RISE ETERNAL!!!!!
Saludos y total el AMOR en el MUNDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
