Thanks for the post Gorzaloon.

A pleasure to finally remember it this far into the thread of posts. Gibran comes and goes, and had a big revival in the '70's.

His writings made a big difference to many aspects of my life.

To those who have not read him, websearch "Gibran on Love" and "Gibran on Friendship", or, better yet, pick up "The Prophet". There are copies everywhere in used bookshops, online, etc.

Yes, I recognized it. I once had a copy of "The Prophet".

I'm currently in a really bad hellish low-paying job. Have some better prospects on the horizon. I have saved this for the day when my new "dream job" starts to lose it's sparkle.

Thank you for that beautiful passage. I read "The Prophet" while in college and you just reminded me that I need to read it again.
