And when the earth shal claim your limbs,then shall you truly dance.

Wind, Breathing, Rivers

Spiritual, Wind, Tree

Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.' Say not, ' I have found the path of the soul.' Say rather, 'I have met the soul walking upon my path.'

Spiritual, Wisdom, Journey

Khalil Gibran, “Self-Knowledge XVII”
