أنا لا أتجاهل، أنا فقط أحاول أن تبقى روحي بعيدة لكي لا تتعلق بشيء تحبه اليوم ويزول غدًا - Kahlil Gibran

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself...
You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations.

Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky, We fell them down and turn them into paper,
That we may record our emptiness.
