“But let there be spaces 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 rather be a moving sea
between the shores of your souls.”
~ Kahlil Gibran

I can hear Richard Harris narrating this similarly to his voice on The Prophet, Kahlil Gibran. Don't we all need time to ourselves which demands implicit trust.

But not a bond of love?

Yes, perhaps he means enjoy your self physically (dance in the breeze of heaven) but don't let it become a [physical] bond of love.

He's too la de da for me.

I take it as, don't become so attached that you have no room to be yourself.

Kahlil Gibran was an artist as well as a poet.

Much of this was donated by Mary Haskell to the Telfair Art museum in Savannah, GA.

So far as I know, however, the full collection is only displayed periodically.

Part of my wedding ceremony, loved Gibran.
Beauty is for the few who seek it out.
Are you such a person?
Have you eyes for line and form?
Ears for delicate chords?
A touch for sensitive textures, and a taste for sweet candies?
Do the poets write for your favor, and artists labour for your judgment?
Do you collect beautiful objects and wear fragrant perfumes?
Do you spend your evenings in idyllic peace and harmony?
Do you enjoy reading beautiful crap like this?

Love Kahlil Gibran, so sad that he had to die so young.
