When I planted my pain in the field of patience it bore fruit of happiness.

When I planted my pain in the field of patience it bore fruit of happiness.

Pain, Fields, Fruit

Said one oyster to a neighboring oyster, "I have a very great pain within me. It is heavy and round and I am in distress." And the other oyster replied with haughty complacence, "Praise be to the heavens and to the sea, I have no pain within me. I am well and whole both within and without." At that moment a crab was passing by and heard the two oysters, and he said to the one who was well and whole both within and without, "Yes, you are well and whole; but the pain that your neighbor bears is a pearl of exceeding beauty."

Beauty, Pain, Oysters

Much of your pain is self-chosen.

Pain, Adversity, Self

Khalil Gibran (2014). “The Prophet - Der Prophet”, p.84, Lulu.com

Hearts united in pain and sorrow will not be separated by joy and happiness. Bonds that are woven in sadness are stronger than the ties of joy and pleasure. Love that is washed by tears will remain eternally pure and faithful.

Spiritual, Pain, Heart

Our pain carves out a larger space for love to fill.

Pain, Space

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore, trust the physician and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility.

Pain, Self, Sick

Khalil Gibran, “On Pain”

Strange, the desire for certain pleasures is a part of my pain.

Spiritual, Pain, Desire

Your life is an island separated from all other islands and continents. Regardless of how many boats you send to other shores or how many ships arrive upon your shores, you yourself are an island separated by its own pains, secluded in its happiness

Peace, Pain, Islands

Much of your pain is self-chosen. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility: For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen, And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has moistened with His own sacred tears.

Pain, Grief, Healing

Khalil Gibran (2014). “The Prophet - Der Prophet”, p.84, Lulu.com

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.

Pain, Heart, Hard Times

Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding... And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy

Spiritual, Pain, Philosophy

Khalil Gibran (2014). “The Prophet - Der Prophet”, p.84, Lulu.com

Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary.

Pain, Reading Poetry, Joy

Khalil Gibran “The New Frontier and Sand and Foam”, Library of Alexandria

There are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue; They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space.

Spiritual, Pain, Space

Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”

Who can depart from his pain and aloneness without regret? Too many fragments of the spirit have I scattered in these streets, and too many are the children of my longing that walk naked among these hills, and I cannot withdraw from them without a burden and an ache. It is not a garment I cast off this day, bit a skin that I tear with my own hands... Yet I cannot tarry longer.

Children, Pain, Regret

To know the pain of too much tenderness

Valentines Day, Pain, Too Much

Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”

Pain and foolishness lead to great bliss and complete knowledge, for Eternal Wisdom created nothing under the sun in vain.

Pain, Struggle, Sun

Much of your pain is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.

Pain, Self, Sick

Khalil Gibran (2014). “The Prophet - Der Prophet”, p.84, Lulu.com

Long were the days of pain I have spent within its walls, and long were the nights of aloneness; and who can depart from his pain and his aloneness without regret?

Wall, Pain, Regret

Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”

There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward. And there are those who give with pain, and that pain is their baptism. And there are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue; They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space. Through the hands of such as these God speaks, and from behind their eyes he smiles upon the earth.

Pain, Eye, Hands

Khalil Gibran, “Giving Chapter V”

A look which reveals inward stress adds more beauty to the face, no matter how much tragedy and pain it bespeaks; but the face which, in silence, does not announce hidden mysteries is not beautiful, regardless of the symmetry of its features.

Beauty, Beautiful, Pain

Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”
