All these things have you said of beauty.Yet in truth you spoke not of her but of needs unsatisfied,And beauty is not a need but an ecstasy. It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth,But rather a heart enflamed and a soul nchanted. It is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear,But rather an image you see though you close your eyes and a song you hear though you shut your ears.It is not the sap within the furrowed bark, nor a wing attached to a claw,But rather a garden for ever in bloom and a flock of angels for ever in flight. People of Orphalese, beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.But you are life and you are the veil. Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.But you are eternity and your are the mirror~Kahlil Gibran ************************************* *Dedicated to all the beautiful souls* Stock image,done in photoshop

I read Gibran as a young women of 25 and forever the soul of his beauty has lived with me and made me feel like a flower filled with light held by the height of hope. You did a wonderful work, it surely covers his thoughts well.Anonymous Guest 14 Jun 2007
