Kahlil Gibran On Marriage and relationships
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But 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.
This is Kahlil Gibran’s poetic take on what a relationship between a man and a woman should be about. I agree with these words a 100%. I feel like I am on a journey to discover ‘the how’ to accomplish to be in and stay in this state of mind. In short: a man came back into my life, his energy shot me right in the heart (again), the shutters of my heart blew wide open, and when the exhilarating love energy clouded my vision i kind of felt i had lost a part of myself (again). And now that i'm back I don't want to disolve my whole being in that magnatical love anymore but i do want to keep on feeling it's magic in every cell of my body. How?!!!!???!!
While getting acquainted with Pixie Campbell’s sacred grit tv and her blog I was very happy to discover she shared so much more of her shamanic powerful wisdom with all of us. Like for example in her 7 journeys’ souLodge spreecast’s. I have started to watch them one by one, they fill me with inspiration I did not feel for a long time. Which filles me with hope and optimism while I slowly come out of a long and difficult walk through my own muddy shadow lands. Finding these treasures of wise words by Pixie and her wise friends is just what I needed. This Kahlil Gibran poem comes from a blog that i found after listening to Pixie’s talk on Spreecast with StephanieAnderson Ladd. It comes from her blog where she writes more wise words on relationships. Reading Stephanie Anderson’s blog I feel like again I found a role model to learn from. Another 'wise woman' who's words can help me in my own personal quest to become more aware of my own female power and in becomming a more abundant lover, a more sacred mother and ultimatly become more of the real me!!! Thank you overseas and beloved sisters!!!
