Khalil Gibran actually appears at the end of my most recent audiobook,
The Not-So-Innocents Abroad
In my horror anthology,
Silhouettes in the Key of Scream,
I use a quote of his to lead off one of the stories.
I recently realized with a start that Khalil Gibran's thoughts
on the uncertainties of love run through three of those tales of horror.
“Think not you can direct
the course of love, for love,
if it finds you worthy,
directs your course.”
{Self-Portrait in Public Domain}
He wrote of the precarious balance between intimacy and independence in healthy relationships.
(And how many of those have
you seen in your own life?)
“Love one another but make not a bond of love:
let it rather be a moving sea
between the shores of your souls.”
HOW DO YOU DELINEATE
LOVE AND INDEPENDENCE
IN YOUR STORIES?
