Sand and Foam

Forgetfulness is a form of freedom.

We measure time according to the movement of countless suns; and they measure time by little machines in their little pockets. Now tell me, how could we ever meet at the same place at the same time?

One may not reach the dawn save by the path of the night.

A sense of humor is a sense of proportion.

Every seed is a longing.

It takes two of us to discover truth: one to utter it and one to understand it.

Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary.

I have no past, nor have I a future. If I stay here, there is a going in my staying; and if I go there is a staying in my going. Only love and death change all things.

You are blind and I am deaf and dumb, so let us touch hands and understand.

You drink wine that you may be intoxicated; and I drink that it may sober me from that other wine.

Only great sorrow or great joy can reveal your truth. If you would be revealed you must either dance naked in the sun, or carry your cross.



cheers to Gibran.
