And if you would know god, be not therefore a solver of riddles. rather look about you and you shall see him playing with your children. and look into space; you shall see him walking in the cloud, outstretching his arms in the lightning and descending in rain. you shall see him smiling in flowers, then rising and waving his hands in trees.

More From Khalil Gibran

If you are a poet, you will see clearly that there is a cloud floating in this sheet of paper. without a cloud, there will be no rain; without rain, the trees cannot grow; and without trees, we cannot make paper. the cloud is essential for the paper to exist. if the cloud is not here, the sheet of paper cannot be here either. so we can say that the cloud and the paper inter-are.

Let the rain kiss you. let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. let the rain sing you a lullaby. the rain makes still pools on the sidewalk. the rain makes running pools in the gutter. the rain plays a little sellp-song on our roof at night- and i love the rain.

No; but you came, and found the riddles waiting for you! indeed you are yourself the only riddle. what you call riddles are truths, and seem riddles because you are not true.
Waiting Found Riddle
If only we know, boss, what the stones and rain and flowers say. maybe they call-call us-and we don't hear them. when will people's ears open, boss? when shall we have our eyes open to see? when shall we open our arms to embrace everything-stones, rain, flowers, and people? what do you think about that, boss? and what do your books have to say about that?

The clouds were drifting over the moon at their giddiest speed, at one time wholly obscuring her, at another, suffering her to burst forth in full splendor and shed her light on all the objects around; anon, driving over her again, with increased velocity, and shrouding everything in darkness.
