A Voice in the Wilderness

As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there's a twilight where everything remains seemingly unchanged, and it is in such twilight that we must be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness. -- William O. Douglas

Love One Another

Love One Another
Khalil Gibran

Then Almitra spoke again and said...
"And what of Marriage, master?"
And he answered saying:


You were born together,

and together you shall be forevermore.

You shall be together when the white wings
of death scatter your days.

Aye, you shall be together even in the

silent memory of God.

Love one another, but make not a bond of love
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

Fill each other's cup, but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread, but eat not from the same loaf.

Sing and dance together and be joyous,
but let each one of you be alone,
even as the strings of a lute are alone
though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping;
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.

And stand together yet not too near together;
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
and the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.
