"The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain . . . When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight."
Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

Please, I beg you, do not intrude. Allow my soul to slumber in bliss. It does not wish to be awakened now, not even by a gentle touch. Only in sleep has it been able to find peace from yearning, and the rest is sorely needed. Let me retrieve, in my dreams and reveries, my own self, that I may live in strength and dignity--whether you touch me or no.
