Author Topic: The Prophet by KAHLIL GIBRAN Sam Junior Member Member # 3 Rate Member posted September 18, 2004 09:23 AM                   In his book "The Prohpet" Gibran writes: In a distant, timeless place, a mysterious prophet walks the sands. At the moment of his departure, he wishes to offer the people gifts but possesses nothing. The people gather round, each asks a question of the heart, and the man's wisdom is his gift.

On the most basic topics--marriage, children, friendship, work, pleasure--his words have a power and lucidity that in another era would surely have provoked the description "divinely inspired." Free of dogma, free of power structures and metaphysics, consider these poetic, moving aphorisms a 20th-century supplement to all sacred traditions--as millions of other readers already have. --Brian Bruya -------------------- ND Posts: 5 | From: Connecticut | Registered: Aug 2004  |  Logged: 24.2.250.42
