Kahlil Gibran and Paulo Coelho have what it takes in their writings to mirror our lives and a daily basis. Have read the entire 16 works by Paulo including the latest, Aleph. What next do you have in store for your fans like me. I am now re-reading the complete works of Kahlil Gibran.
hi,it’s amazing2 c how goodness attracts more goodness.a person as pure of soul like u could bring so many like-minded people together to share their views on your blog..you also reminded so many of us about that rare gem of a writer khalil gibran…a visionary much ahead of his times just like you…admire you lots..
Dear Paulo,
I’m a lebanese girl and aside from you, Gebran is my favorite writer.But i must say i relate to your writings more than i do his, they seem more transparent to me. I just wish i could meet you someday :)…Your writings have changed my personal view of life and have helped me through many circumstances.I’ll bet you’d make one hell of a friend !heh
I read his book: the Prophet. It reflects alot of simplicity of knowledge applicatible to life. There is a basic wisdom that guides any traveler who wants to be guided. I like this author. =)
dear Paolo
being lebanese and seeing your love for one of the best authors ever i feel proud, i feel humble, i feel glorified with my origin and decent.
I was never a reading person but i always had this thing about reading a\ book and finishing it in a day. and thats how it all started
you had just released 11 min and i was always told the alchamist is the masterpiece read it first. So i did i read them both. I was swept off my feet with surprise and shock ( i really shocked myself) i never thought i would go through a book with so much interest. and i always have ever since everbook you publish.
thank you for being you.
love

wow…I feel so strange right now.. I saw this book at the strange bookstore today and felt this strange connection with it, and now, when I came back I saw this and wow..I feel such strange force surrounding me…
Dear friends,
Words of Khalil Gibran are so powerful and precious because they are hymn to love, they are love itself, they are treasure for humanity !
Paulo thank you again for reminding us !

When I was young, I read The Prophet and could not imagine a world in which these things could live.
Older now, I can’t imagine not living in such a world, but it comes from within me, not what is around me.
Not that I am able to do so, but because I let That Which Is Able to do so through me.
Esta foto esta muito estranha tamben por so.
los olhos parecem como a Charlie Chaplin , no?
Leio “O jardem do profeto: en frances.
Obrigado
We are all being blessed to have such a person born in this world. His words is a mixture of philosophy,religion,mystics and arts. Such words really makes our life more beautiful. a tool for our journey and explore our spritual side. Yes, his works can be a holy book for someone who loves and praise life. God Bless Khalis Gibran.
Dear Paulo,
With Khalil Gibran’s work I met in 1987 when it was translated in croatian language and he became my favorite writerand kept that position until I met your work and started to read from Alchemist, The pilgrimage and on, and on.
For these who are discovering his work now my suggestion is not to stop on The Prophet but read all of it.
My favourites are books “A tear and a Smile” and “Mirror of the Soul” but I like them all.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity to remind us of such good writer.
With love,
Luce
Reading Kahlil Gibran works is like sitting underneath a tree on a warm afternoon with the breeze relieving your mind as you remember the momments in your life that have vastly affected the person we have become..
In a very positive way does he allow us to reflect and breathe in new hope..
i think he is a genious and i like every thing he wrote especially his great book ” jesus the son of humanity ” in wich i noticed some ressemblance with your book paulo ” the witch of portobello “.
both of you are talking about the opinions and point of views of people who lived with a great person.
i don’t say that it makes you less important but i can’t denial this ressemblance of styles.
i love you paulo and in my opinion you are this GENIOUS GIBRAN of our time with a more moderne and opene minded way.

“And a youth said, Speak to us of Friendship. And he answered, saying: Your friend is your needs answered. He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.”
Kahlil Gibran “The Prophet”
On a cloudy rainy day, I sip hot green tea, curl up on my sofa with 2 authors in arms reach… Kahlil Gibran….and…. Paulo Coelho
I read Khalil Gibran EVERYnight.I especially like the verses from The prophet.But i wish ti know how to internalize all this and become a better person.

Jamais Gibran n’impose. Il ne fait que réveiller les voies qui dorment dans notre cœur et qu’il est possible de réveiller et de suivre dans notre société même bouleversée tout en continuant à vivre comme auparavant avec juste ce regard particulier qui fait que la vie nous apparaît alors gorgés de sens, de possibles et de génie.
Never Gibran imposes. He is only waking the ways which sleep in our heart and that it is possible to wake and to follow in our society even upset while continuing to live as previously just with this particular glance which makes that the life seems to us then filled with sense, with possible and with genius.
My hero since a child, I Love Him:
What the soul knows is often unknown to the man who has a soul. We are infinitely more than we think.
(Kahlil Gibran’s Letter. October 6, 1915.)
I dont know who is that writer.If somebody give me a hint,or better,advice me some of his best works.
He wrote that parents are like a bow, made to “throw” the children, like arrows, in the Sky of Life.
Beautiful, isn’t it?
This is, I think, the real aim of education: give the possibility to children to find their own way.
Have a nice day.
A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than the one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?
Kahlil Gibran
‘The Prophet’, ‘The Garden of the Prophet’, ‘Sound and foam’ and the ‘Broken Wings’, the romantic love for Selma Karami. His drawings are wonderful. A real poet.
Love,
Thelma
I am lebanese and I cannot describe the pride I feel whenever I read Gibran. My daily prayer is from his book “the prophet”.
You should listen to the voice of Fairuz along with the Rahbani music, singing his words, A combination blessed by God.

Khalil Gibran – le prophète :
« (…) Qu’il y ait des espaces dans votre entente. Que les vents des cieux puissent danser entre vous. Aimez-vous, l’un l’autre, mais ne faites pas de l’amour un carcan: Qu’il soit plutôt mer mouvante entre les rives de vos âmes. Remplissez, chacun, la coupe de l’autre, mais ne buvez pas à la même. Donnez-vous l’un à l’autre de votre pain, mais ne partagez pas le même morceau. Chantez et dansez ensemble, et soyez joyeux, mais que chacun demeure isolé, Comme sont isolées les cordes du luth, bien que frémissantes de la même musique. Donnez vos cœurs, mais pas à la garde de l’autre, Car vos cœurs, seule la main de Dieu peut les contenir. Et dressez-vous ensemble, mais pas trop près l’un de l’autre : car les piliers du temple se dressent séparément, Et le chêne et le cyprès ne peuvent croître dans leur ombre mutuelle. »
” (…) That there are spaces in your agreement. That the winds of heavens can dance between you. Like(love) each other, each other, but do not make love a yoke: whether it is rather unstable sea between the banks of your souls. Fill(perform), each, the cup(cutting) of the other one, but do not drink to the same. Give yourselves one to another of your bread, but do not share the same piece.
Sing and dance together, and be joyful, but that each remains isolated, As are isolated the ropes of the lute, although quivering of the same music. Give your hearts, but not to the guarding of the other one, Because your hearts, only the hand of God can contain them
And raise yourselves(draw up yourselves) together, but not too much near one of the other one: because the pillars of the temple raise themselves(draw up themselves) separately, And the oak and the cypress cannot grow in their mutual shadow. “
I like him too.
This guy is so good…
My heart beats to see again the name of Khalil gibran, I thought of it yesterday and I said myself that he me faillait to find in one of my cardboards these papers which had rocked my soul during our philosophic “studies” (we were some persons together once a week to share a moment of dialogues as we can make it on Paulo Coelho’s blog today…
