 [minstrels] On Giving -- Khalil Gibran
I came across this excerpt form Gibran's 'The Prophet' when I was about 13, courtesy of my father who had it put up on our living room wall.
I loved it then, and as the years have gone by I've grown to love it even more as I begin to be more aware of and experience the interplay of emotions involved in simple acts of my life.
Gibran forces us to take a harder look at Giving, forces us to look past fruitive motives for our actions, at a place where there exists such a thing as a Selfless Deed, stripped clean of ANY reaction - pure, simple and childlike to grasp....and yet something we struggle with.
