Let there be space in your togetherness and let the winds of the
heavens dance between you. Love one another, but make not a bond of love; let it be rather
a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup, but drink not from
the same cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and
dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, even as the strings of a
lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each
other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. Stand together, yet
not too near together; for the pillars of the temple stand apart, and the oak tree and the
cypress grow not in each other's shadow. - Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet |
