Khalil Gibran - On Pain

2014-11-05 2,886 Dailymotion

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses <br />your understanding. <br /> <br />Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its <br />heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain. <br /> <br />And could you keep your heart in wonder at the <br />daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem <br />less wondrous than your joy; <br /> <br />And you would accept the seasons of your heart, <br />even as you have always accepted the seasons that <br />pass over your fields. <br /> <br />And you would watch with serenity through the <br />winters of your grief. <br /> <br />Much of your pain is self-chosen. <br /> <br />It is the bitter potion by which the physician within <br />you heals your sick self. <br /> <br />Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy <br />in silence and tranquillity: <br /> <br />For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by <br />the tender hand of the Unseen, <br /> <br />And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has <br />been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has <br />moistened with His own sacred tears.<br /><br />Khalil Gibran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-pain/
