13. On Laws, The Prophet By Khalil Gibran

"Then a Lawyer said, but what of our laws, Master?" "And he answered: ...They see only their shadows, and their shadows are their laws."

“The Prophet,” a collection of twenty-six prose poems, delivered as sermons by a fictional wise man in a faraway time and place. First published in 1923, it is full of timeless wisdom. I've separated each poem in order to practice Deep Listening for the wisdom in each verse. I hope you enjoy each word.
