Una lacrima e un sorriso
Il primo bacio è il primo sorso del calice riempito dagli dèi alla limpida fonte dell’Amore. Il confine tra il dubbio che rattrista il cuore e la certezza che lo rallegra. Il primo verso nel cantico della vita celeste; il primo capitolo della storia dell’uomo nello spirito. Un legame tra la meraviglia del passato e lo splendore del futuro; che unisce il silenzio del sentimento alla sua canzone.…

I simply can't relax. My mind is like a brook, always running, always seeking, always murmuring.

“I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.”

The appearance of things changes according to the emotions; and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves.

‘Something special between us… Words wouldn’t get my feelings through… However absurd it may seem.’ That’s taking off into The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran – there’s a line of his that always used to attract me and John, which was ‘Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it just to reach you.’ So it’s that kind of meaning to ‘However Absurd’. — Paul McCartney, interview w/ Patrick Humphries for Club Sandwich. (Autumn, 1986)
Kahlil Gibran "On Love" / John Lennon "Now and Then" / Paul Mccartney "However Absurd"

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 in him,      Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste 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 these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life’s heart.      But if in your heart you would seek only love’s peace and love’s pleasure,      Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love’s threshing-floor, Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.      Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.      Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;      For love is sufficient unto love.      When you love you should not say, “God is in my heart,” but rather, “I am in the heart of God.”      And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.      Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself.      But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:      To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.      To 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 then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
On Love Kahlil Gibran (1883 –1931)

“One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.” ― Khalil Gibran
