From The ProphetLove 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 the same cup.
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.
~Kahlil Gibran
