Beautiful loveliness

Or some such syrupy sweetness.

Somebody mentioned the Kahlil Gibran chapter "on children" from his book "The Prophet" on a list today. I had no idea that it had been turned into a song. Go listen to Sweet Honey on the Rock sing it Acapella style. If that doesn't bring tears to your eyes, I don't know that there's any hope for you.;)

I have all these lovelyish connections to Kahlil Gibran's work though. I feel a deep sense of connectedness to my mother through his work. One of the first times I felt we indeed had similar spirits was finding that book in the basement and realizing it was one of her treasures. She gave it to me a couple years before she died. It is one of my most cherished possessions now.

I mentioned a new friend from the RE conference in an earlier post. His Grandmother actually knew Gibran and housed him as he worked on "The Prophet". That was a pretty cool connection. Three degrees from brilliance right?

Enjoy the song....the ring of truth is so inviting.
