"If I accept the sunshine
and warmth, then I must
also accept the thunder
and lightning." 
~Khalil Gibran

Ever and always phenom
wisdom from this man!

I grew up reading his work.
Lucky am I who was given
the gift of reading, parents
who supported me in it.

Trips to the local library
once a week. Oh how I
loved that library!

I believe it was there that
I was introduced to Kahlil 
Gibran. My parents always
insisted I choose a variety
of books each week, hence
Kahlil Gibran.

Now that I'm on the other
end of childhood, I am
still reading and kneeling
at the feet of his wisdom.
