“And a woman spoke, saying, “Tell us of Pain. And he said: Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding/ Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain. And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy; And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields. And, you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.”
–Excerpt from book

The Prophet is one of the first spiritual books that I read, dating back some thirty years. It’s a book of poetry in the form of musings about various subjects. The wisdom contained in this book is timeless and ageless. It is as relevant to my life now as it was then. It’s a stepping stone that will help you to a higher ground, enabling you to see your life as measured through a clear looking glass, wiping away the fog and confusion.

The book speaks on many subjects, from love and marriage, pain, self knowledge, time, friendship, reason and passion, and more relevant musings on life. A wonderful book to read over and over. This book will surely touch your heart and help you to better understand the nature of man and the nature of our hearts and souls. It also contains advice on how to look at life and ourselves from a wonderfully clear perspective.
