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
Soul Reflections, A spiritual portrait of soulmates allowing space in their togetherness.
Khalil Gibran is my favorite poet. When I was twelve, I use to sneak the book “The Prophet” from my grandmothers’ bookshelf. It was a fancy version with gold tipped edges. It seemed like a book of magic. Anyway.. I loved his words they spoke to me so deeply. This image came from the idea “Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.” Wow love that. -Margaret
