“ Let there be s p a c e s
in your t o g e t h e r n e s s
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 m o v i n g 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 j o y o u s
but let each one of you be alone
Even as the strings of a lute are a l o n e
though they q u i v e r with the same music
Give your hearts
but not into each other's keeping
For only the hand of Life
can c o n t a i n your hearts
And stand t o g e t h e r
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.”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
