Sand and Foam

I am forever walking upon these shores,
Between the sand and the foam.
The high tide will erase my footprints,
And the wind will blow away the foam.
But the sea and the shore stay forever.

Khalil Gibran - Sand and Foam

Ordinary

I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration form the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind. Yet strange, I am ungrateful to the teachers.

Khalil Gibran

Outdoors

We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting.

Khalil Gibran

Spring

In autumn I gathered all my sorrows and burried them in my garden.

And when Spring cameto wed the earth, there grew in my garden beautiful flowers unlike all other flowers.

And my neighbors came to behold them and said to me, "When autumn comes again, at seeding time, will you not give us the seeds of these flowers that we may have in our own garden?"

Khalil Gibran
