On Beauty from The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran, 1923
On Beauty from The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran, 1923.
Kahlil Gibran’s reflections on beauty emphasise its profound and spiritual nature. In ‘The Prophet,’ he writes, "Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart." For Gibran, true beauty transcends physical appearance, residing in the soul and reflecting love, truth, and the essence of one’s spirit. It’s important to remember this as we are bombarded by what the media pushes onto us at every turn.

Neighbours and Friendship
Просмотров 467 часов назад
Neighbours and Friendship. Friends, neighbours and local communities play a vital role in fostering connection, support, and a sense of belonging, especially when you move to a new area. They can be great fun, create a network of mutual knowledge about the area and stave off loneliness. Strong community bonds enhance well-being, enrich daily life, and help individuals thrive through shared reso...

Some believe miracles are extraordinary events that defy natural laws, while others see them as rare coincidences or psychological perceptions. Whether viewed spiritually or scientifically, this poem invites ref...

Car crash, life can change in an instant
Просмотров 195День назад
Car crash, life can change in an instant. Life can change in an instant, reshaping our paths and perspectives. A sudden event like a car crash, an unexpected phone call, an accident, or a moment of clarity can alter our course completely. These fleeting moments remind us of life's fragility and the importance of embracing every day, as everything can shift in the blink of an eye. I call it the ...

    Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder but it can enhance the object or person or your life as it reflects as a mirror what u see. Art is convincing others how to look at something in the way you do to see the light reflection or view never considered prior. Perspective 😊❤

    I watched your video clip and was pleasantly surprised by the coincidence that I am currently writing a column on Khalil Gibran as well, which I plan to send to the newspaper. I hope it will be published because I, too, read his works during my school days, and through his writings, he had a profound impact on my personality. He was truly a poet and writer of the soul.

    Maulana Rumi is a poet from our region, known for his deeply mystical and spiritual poetry that has touched the world for centuries. About a year ago, when I searched for the most widely read poet in the world on Google, Maulana Rumi's name appeared. His translations have been done exceptionally well, and he is widely read in the West. In the East, he is considered a spiritual guide for many great Sufis. He has also served as a spiritual mentor, through his writings, to notable figures such as Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai, the greatest poet of Sindh, and Allama Iqbal, another prominent poet of Pakistan. Rumi's poetry possesses such profound attraction that anyone who reads him becomes a follower of Rumi.

    Your work and content are great, but your English accent makes it a bit challenging to understand at times. Also, you speak quite fast. If you could slow down your speaking speed a little, it would make things easier to follow. Nonetheless, I truly appreciate your efforts and want to commend you for the great work you’re doing.

    My love for the moon mirrors the devotion one feels for a cherished wife. The moon’s form and grace resemble the beauty of a woman, arriving each month with a fresh, ethereal fragrance. Its unmatched allure and intoxicating scent pull the entire cosmos toward it. In its silent radiance, the moon stands as the greatest embodiment of love, a timeless beacon drawing hearts from the depths of the universe.

    The pink outfit you're wearing, along with the embroidery, has made the whole scene even more charming. Your smile, combined with the lush greenery of the garden in the background, looks wonderful, like a perfect blend of natural beauty." Of course Neighbors and friends play a crucial role in helping one another. When neighbors and friends are close, immediate support is available during tough times, whether it’s for small daily issues or facing major challenges. Neighbors are around you and can assist with everyday needs, while friends provide emotional support and understand you in ways others may not. Together, they make your life easier and more joyful because, with their presence, not only can you face problems better, but you can also share and multiply your happiness.

I also know of electricity is off we are all in the dark unknowing until it comes back on. I stream everything weather & news We can usually text w our cell phones.

    "Degas' profound insight reminds us that true mastery is achieved when we let go of rigid control and trust the flow of our creativity. It’s in those moments, when we're not confined by overthinking, that authentic beauty emerges. This speaks to the magic of the unknown, where the artist's hand is guided by instinct rather than intellect, creating something far more powerful than calculated perfection."

    Walking in the park early in the morning, looking at the leaves, admiring the flowers, listening to the chirping of birds, and then reading good books-all of these things shape a person into a true human being. And I see all of these qualities in you. Stay happy always.

    Thank you Lisa for reaching out about such an important and vital issue which is affecting so many around the world. It's incredibly sad and quite infuriating that in this day and age in the western world, this boy can't read. It's so vital, so necessary, it would help his mental health and confidence to be able to.read. As an avid reader it makes me feel anxious, words are so necessary and reading affects every aspect of our lives. I will ask my daughter about the books 📚 she may be able to recommend. She is a nursing paediatric nurse in a very deprived area of London and takes care of families whose adolescent children arevneurodiverse and some have physical limitations too. It's tough for the families, the support they are getting is not enough, my daughter works so hard. Her friend works solely with youngsters on the autistic spectrum so she could ask.her. You are a very special person and it warms my heart ❤️ that in.a world that is portrayed so badly in the media, there are so many good people. I have C- PTSD and have been in therapy for a while, all is exacerbated by unfortunately living with chronic health issues and have spent most of the last 9 years mostly in bed. I love your channel, the beauty of art, poetry and the natural world outside my bedroom window are a huge support through the days and nights. Take care. Healing prayers for you and I look forward to seeing Clementine soon, I love dogs. Lots of love and peace 🙏💖🌟🐕❤️

    Being strong in community is important. We all benefit from a helping hand, empathy, the village in different times of life. I will tell you symbols signs language are more technical in this generation. I know my generation is noticing the high tech is not always better. No electricity, no power no tools & we are cut off from society. We saw thatcin school w no computers & this past level 4 hurricane that rode thru fla, georgia nc va Tennessee dumping 20+ inches of rain reating storm surge in rivers that took out infrastructure roads, internet, power poles & transformers, communities. Surrounding communities are loading trailers w supplies & man power for seach & rescue. Even those who are going thru the same. They have no running water. Compassion, being human. ❤️ 🙏

    Used to teach title 1 reading in the low income schools at the time had a deaf & Spanish speaking student as well. Fun stuff sign language, Spanish to English ( student went home taught parents), & low level readers. Where there's a will there's a way. I used to send my best students across the hall to sit w the higher level students for an hour or so in English block. My grandfather never learned to read best farmer self taught man I ever knew great w doctoring farm animals. Without reading & writing students can't take tests, vote, or have a real voice or knowledge in life. In old worlds no one had but fourth or six grade learning cause the homestead, family was calling. Not as much in this world. Lot of respect for free higher education & health care in UK not so much in America for the natives. We sacrifice 🙏 ❤️ what we have for what we can become. I trust the Universe that ✨️ what we give returns often thru other persons or matter if we follow our callings.
