Finding a Way

"I cannot teach you how to pray in words...

and I cannot teach you the prayer of the seas

and the forest and the mountains.

But you who are born of the mountains

and the forest and the seas,

can find their prayer in your heart."

-Kahil Gibran, The Prophet

    Thanks Barb, The Prophet is one of my absolute favourite books. What beauty and truth it contains, Gibran possessed such insight and wisdom.
