My friend Paul has been married for a month, and I can not and do not know why this morning when I was home sick I missed this piece to your computer: " Almitra then spoke again and said: What is marriage, master?" And he answered saying: You were born together and together you shall be forevermore. You together when white wings of death scatter your days. And together in the silent memory of God But let there be spaces in your togetherness. And between you dance to the winds of heaven. 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, but do not eat the same bread. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but each of you be alone, as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other because only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near the columns of the temple stand apart, and the oak tree and the cypress grow not in shadow. "
course most of you know that is a piece of The Prophet by Khalil Gibran.
I have in mind Paul himself (well, Noemi even now) because I told him that the marriage bed was a piece of The Prophet, and I think this might be, I read several years ago and I promised myself to read it. He says things very simple and trivial but perhaps not so widespread. It will also be on hand happened "by chance" in these days for reasons that the most are unknown.
read these few lines I wonder if one day I will find this and the answer is simple: yes, indeed! I am stubborn and I know that if I start I'll find what I want, I do not know what is good but I will confess and I know well. Maybe you already know that a person or a person with whom I have yet to cross the road but it is here. With that then I hope to achieve what they wish and dedicate it to Naomi and Paul, the source of these words can well imagine:

" Your children are not your children.
are the sons and daughters of the thirst Has life itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you do not belong there.
are the sons and daughters of the thirst Has life itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you do not belong there.
You can give them love, but not your thoughts:
They have their own thoughts.
can offer refuge to their bodies but not their souls:
they live in the house of tomorrow,
That there will be allowed to visit even in your dreams.
groped can be like them, you
But like you:
Life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
site you bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forward.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you
strongly that His arrows may go swift and far.
with joy at the hand of the Trust;
Because as he loves the flight of the arrow so the firmness of love. "
