You are your own forerunner, and the towers you have builded are but the foundation of your giant-self. And that self too shall be a foundation.
And I too am my own forerunner, for the long shadow stretching before me at sunrise shall gather under my feet at the noon hour. Yet another sunrise shall lay another shadow before me, and that also shall be gathered at another noon.
Always have we been our own forerunners, and always shall we be. And all that we have gathered and shall gather shall be but seeds for fields yet unploughed. We are the fields and the ploughmen, the gatherers and the gathered.
When you were a wandering desire in the mist, I too was there, a wandering desire. Then we sought one another, and out of our eagerness dreams were born. And dreams were time li. . . Read More

تکرار کلماتی که بار ها بس بسیار گفته شده،خلیل جبران،اینبار شاید با بیانی اندکی ساده تر،خیالی..تکرار واضحات در قالب کلماتی که قرار ست زیبا بنمایند..باشد اما دیگر چه؟این حکایت های تکراری که زمانی که در آثار باستانی می خوانیم شگفت و لذت بخش می نمایند در رو نویسی جدید جبران بی هدف و گم شده می آیند.
-- ويستمر جبران فى أسلوبه الموسيقى الآسر الجميل .
-- الكتاب عبارة عن أربعٍ وعشرين حكاية قصيرة و قصيدة نثر مع مقدمة .
-- فى حكايات وأمثال جبران حكمة عميقة .
-- حكاياته تمتاز ببساطة فى السرد ، وسلاسة فى التركيب ، وطرافة فى الصور الرمزية .
-- فى هذا الكتاب تبنّى جبران بشكل كبير مبدأ التقمّص والعودات الدا
واقعااا کتاب فوق‌العاده‌ایه. سرتاسرش حس آرامش میده به آدم. داستان‌هایی که تو دلشون به آدم درس زندگی میدن. و البته نکته‌ای که تو تمام داستان‌های خلیل جبران، وجود خدا حس می‌شد و اینکه تمام تلاششو می‌کرد که این وجود رو به همه اثبات کنه.
حتما بهتون پیشنهاد میکنم برید سراغش
هنا يستمر جبران خليل جبران في سرد القصص المليئة بالحكمة. بعد المجنون نجد السابق حيث يطلق العنان لخياله ويسمو بروحه. هنا تتحدث الطبيعة وكل المخلوقات. ينطلق الكل وينظم معزوفة شاعرية تنساب في الحكمة والرقة. حاول أن تجمع من الفوائد ما استطعت.
إن وراء وحدتي وحدة أبعد وأقصي
وما انفرادي للمعتزل سوي ساحة تفض بالمزدحمين
وما سكوني للساكنين فيها سوي جلبة وضجيج
It's not that I don't enjoy classics. I only read classics when it comes to Arabic books. Some of the short stories were enjoyable. But I didn't understand most of it *which is probably my fault* and I read it like it was 500-pages-long.
يا له من قلب مفعم بالذكريات، بالحب، بالإنسانية، بالعاطفة، والحنين..
كلمات ساحرة تنبش في ذاكرة قديمة بقدم الإنسان نفسه، تُشكل معناً وروحاً أبدياً مشتركاً بين الطبيعة والإنسان..
جبران صديق الطبيعة وباعث الكلمات الساحرة..
كتاب مخصص للحالمين، المتوهجين في عالم الترانيم الخالدة..
قلم خرافي من الطبيعي ان يبدع كتابة هذا الكاتب له اسلوب ولغة لا مثيل لهما.! مستمرة انا في الابحار في عالم جبران الفلسفي العميق .
In one parable...
Four poets were sitting around a bowl of punch that stood on a table.
Said the first poet, "Methinks I see with my third eye the fragrance of this wine hovering in space like a cloud of birds in an enchanted forest."
The second poet raised his head and said, "With my inner ear I can h
