May our God bless your name,
And the womb that held you, and the breasts that gave you milk.
And may God forgive us all.”

“Men would bless you or curse you;
The curse, a protest against failure,
The blessing, a hymn of the hunter
Who comes back from the hills
With provision for his mate.”

“My Soul gave me good counsel, teaching me not to measure time by saying, "It was yesterday, and will be tomorrow."”

Khalil Gibran libro The Madman

Before my Soul taught me, I imagined the past as an era not to be met with, and the future as an age that I would never witness. But now I know that in the brief moment of the present, all time exists, including everything that is in time — all that is eagerly anticipated, achieved, or realized.
My Soul gave me good counsel, teaching me not to define a place by saying 'here' or 'there'. Before my Soul taught me, I thought that when I was in any place on the earth I was remote from every other spot. But now I have learned that the place where I subsist is all places, and the space I occupy is all intervals.
The Madman (1918), The Vision: Reflections on the Way of the Soul (1994)
