Treasured Writings of Kahlil Gibran

I finally took this book from my bookshelf and started reading yesterday. Let's see if I can finish it in the month of February.

From Amazon:

The Treasured Writings of Kahlil Gibran represents the most comprehensive volume of works of the Lebanese poet and philosopher ever published. This enriching collection of stories, prose poems, verse, parables and autobiographical essays comprises the major body of Kahlil Gibran’s works.

Each of the ten books included in this beautifully bound collectors’ volume has been hailed by critics as literary masterpieces. The works in this collection clearly demonstrate why critics regard Kahlil Gibran as eminent among the world's great writers.  His writings reflect the wistful beauty, fierce anger, lofty majesty and the abiding peace that Eastern wisdom achieves in its contemplation.

I got the nudge from my new 'Twitter friend.'

Grief is an absolute beast. If you find that you need people to talk to who aren't uncomfortable with your emotions or what you have to say, there are free grief support groups, even online. Remember that.

No thanks needed, Friend. I'm still in the throws of grief myself. Truly one day at a time. You might find that your understanding of grief is of comfort to people who are also grieving. It enables a type of communication if that makes any sense.

I just wrote, one day at a time but in all honesty, sometimes it's one minute at a time or one hour at a time.

I don't know if you've ever read the Prophet by Kahlil Gibran. I've had it at my bedside for many years. You can find pieces of it online. One section is, On Joy and Sorrow. Maybe it will speak to you.https://t.co/1w68CwmamV

Oh my gosh! That's so wonderful you have it. It's one of those readings that appears short but every word is incredibly meaningful. I've read it cover-to-cover and then I will read certain "chapters" when they come to mind. If you can, let me know what you think.
