"When love beckons to you, follow him
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Thought the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so he is for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth."
From The Prophet by Kahil Gibran
I read this in a book the other day. It's one of those things that makes me "Hmmmm..." to myself and then think "Dang it! That's tough."
Nothing new. Just something true (in a poetic way).
