The Prophet: Introduction

Next I will be releasing excerpts from Kahlil Gibran's masterpiece, The Prophet. In this story, an old man's ship has finally come in, literally. Almustafa has lived in the small town of Orphalese for decades, and everyone has come to see him as a staple of the community. But finally a ship has come to the port that can take him back to the isle of his birth. Before he leaves, the entire town gathers in a crowd to say farewell and ask him questions about life, death, and everything in between. He imparts simple truths on every topic asked of him. So enjoy these little tidbits of wisdom, and get the book for yourself if you enjoy what you read here, it's well worth it.
