An interesting qoute

The following qoutation has been on my mind for a while. In fact whenever I read it my heart is deeply moved. I hope you enjoy it as well. The topic of the qoute is love.

"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 fear 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."

- The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran
