There is no greater gift that one may experience in this lifetime than love...  Mystics believe that every human expression is rooted in love... or the lack of love which is fear. Theologists believe that the expression of Love and that of God are synonymous... and I believe that perhaps the greatest philosopher Kahlil Gibran,  writing in "The Prophet," has best portrayed the human expression of love. 

Born in born in Lebanon in 1883. His mystical poetry and art express the deepest impulses of man's heart and mind... here Gibran speaks on the subject of Love.

And he raised his head and looked upon the people, and there fell a stillness upon them. And with a great voice he said: When Love beckons to you, follow him, though his ways are hard and steep.

And when his wings enfold you, yield to him... Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.

And when he speaks to you, believe him... Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the North wind lays waste to the garden.

For even as Love crowns you, so shall he crucify you...
Even as he is for your growth, so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Like sheaves of corn, he gathers you unto himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.

All of these things shall Love do unto you so that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.

But in your fear, if you should seek only Love's peace and love's pleasure,
then it is better that you cover your nakedness and pass out of Love's challenges, knowing that you have not the courage to experience its rewards... and continue living in the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears... and you will  know the passion which you have chosen naught, and it will haunt you in every moment of your loneliness.

Think not that  you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and your needs have desires, let them be your desires, and expect not that they be returned in favor, for those needs and desires are another's:  You should simply;
melt and be like a running brook that sings it's melody to the night, for you will doubtfully know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the  noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

To be touched by this depth of passion in any lifetime is to find that oneness which will forever dwell within you.
