27. On Death, The Prophet By Kahlil Gibran

"And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?"

“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.

Trigger Warning: This practice may include references to death, dying, and the departed.
