Kahlil Gilbran on Love

When you love you should not say, 'God is in my heart,' but rather, 'I am in the heart of God.' And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself. But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and to give thanks for another day of loving; To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ectasy; To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips. I was going to comment on this but it's perfect ;)

To Know You Is To Love You

The only way of knowing a person is to love them without hope. Walter Benjamin

In loving someone fully with all your heart you allow yourself to open up. In opening up you allow that person to see you greatness . In allowing that person to see your greatness you allow them to shine themselves. When you see their light you will truly know them. Go on give it a try ;)

Work is Love Made Visible

Work is love made visible. And if you can't work with love, but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of the people who work with joy , Khalil Gibran

Do you love what you do? Could you choose to love it? If not then for your future happiness you need to work towards moving on to live your work life with love and joy. Only then will you be free to love fully in the rest of your life. Namaste.
