The Prophet
“Love one another, but make not a bond of that love. Let
it rather be like a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
And stand together, and yet not too near together. For even the
pillars of the temple must stand apart; and the oak tree and the
cypress will not grow in each other’s shadow. Remember that love
gives nothing but from itself.
Love possesses not, nor would it be possessed, for love is sufficient
unto love. And think not that you can direct the course of love. For
love, if it finds you worthy, will direct your course."
