A review by zannmato
The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran

5.0

I wish I could take on the message so clearly inherent in the book. I wish we all could. The poem reads like a sermon on the mount - I doubt I am the first to make this comparison - but the message comes through unfiltered despite the poetic language that threatens to be so highly interpretable. On some level, I am aware that these observations coupled with advice on a life well and worth living are but dreams, but doesn't my reaction reveal a need for such things to be real or even possible?

This deserves another read, but I don't think I'm ready for another so soon. I'll take what I can and meditate on it further; it's all I feel capable of doing at the moment.
