Other people born on January 6 seem like a nice lot, including Danny Thomas and Joan of Arc, and Kapil Dev a Cricketer from Punjab India. Another is Khalil Gibran, author of The Prophet, a book that made the rounds of teenage girls who were looking for the meaning of life in the sixties. The 1960s. My copy was in the form of a Christmas present from a high school friend, a compatriot in the adventure, but one whose wounds must have seemed to her to be too deep to ever heal. Whenever I think of her I think of Petras song for Annie, and sometimes Tom Rushs No Regrets. I wish wed caught her, and a boy I knew then too, who also lost his grip on life in the amorphous eighties. The hidden well-spring of your soul must needs rise and run murmuring to the sea; And the treasure of your infinite depths would be revealed to your eyes. But let there be no scales to weigh your unknown treasure; And seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or sounding line. For self is a sea boundless and measureless. Say not, “I have found the truth,” but rather, “I have found a truth.” Say not, “I have found the path of the soul.” Say rather, “I have met the soul walking upon my path.” For the soul walks upon all paths. The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals. ~ Khalil Gibran, The Prophet
