17. On Self-Knowledge, The Prophet By Kahlil Gibran

"Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights."
"The hidden well-spring of your soul must needs rise and run murmuring to the sea; For self is a sea boundless and measureless."

“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.
