To love another person is to see the face
of God. ~ Victor Hugo
Let there be spaces in your togetherness, 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 moving 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 joyous,
but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone
though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each
other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand
together, 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. ~ Khalil
Gibran
