Death Heart Sea

More From Khalil Gibran

You would know the secret of death. but how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heath of life? the owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light. if you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. for life and death are one, even as the river and sea are one. for what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?
Death Heart Eye
You have to stand up and be a human. you have to honor the man or woman that you are. respect your body, enjoy your body, love your body, feed, clean, and heal your body. exercise and do what makes your body feel good. this is a puja to your body, and that is a communion between you and god. . . . when you practice giving love to every part of your body, you plant seeds of love in your mind, and when they grow, you will love, honor, and respect your body immensely.

We dash the black river, its flats smooth as stone. not a ship, not a dinghy, not one cry of white. the water lies broken, cracked from the wind. this great estuary is wide, endless. the river is brackish, blue with the cold. it passes beneath us blurring. the sea birds hang above it, they wheel, disappear. we flash the wide river, a dream of the past. the deeps fall behind, the bottom is paling the surface, we rush by the shallows, boats beached for winter, desolate piers. and on wings like the gulls, soar up, turn, look back.
Dream Lying Fall
Panic. you open your mouth. open it so wide your jaws creak. you order your lungs to draw air, now, you need air, need it now. but your airways ignore you. they collapse, tighten, squeeze, and suddenly you're breaithing through a drinking straw. your mouth closes and your lips purse and all you can manage is a croak. your hands wriggle and shake. somewhere a dam has cracked open and a flood of cold sweat spills, drenches your body. you want to scream. you would if you could. cut you have to breathe to scream. panic.

Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...' "

Revelation need not all come at once. it may be incremental. 'saith the lord god: i will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth i will give more' (2 nephi 28:30). patience and perseverance are part of our eternal progression.

To expect that the intricacies of science will be pierced by a careless glance, or the eminences of fame ascended without labour, is to expect a peculiar privilege, a power denied to the rest of mankind; but to suppose that the maze is inscrutable to diligence, or the heights inaccessible to perseverance, is to submit tamely to the tyranny of fancy, and enchain the mind in voluntary shackles.
