I’ve loved Kahlil Gibran since I was a teen and I’m delighted I can find it online anytime I please (although my copy of The Prophet has been on my shelf for over 20 years):
Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.
And how else can it be?
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter’s oven?
I love that line…it stays with me. Don’t get the wrong idea, I’m not being carved out right now! However, it’s powerful truths that bring comfort.

I have found much truth in The Prophet. I have experienced “the deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.” Fortunately, my cup overflows with joy these days! I hope yours does too, Miguel.

I love Kahlil Gibran too! The Prophet is my favorite, but I also love Sand and Foam – “If your heart is a volcano how shall you expect flowers to bloom in your hands?” – http://4umi.com/gibran/sand_and_foam/7.htm
