"You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. For what are your possessions but things you keep and guard for fear you may need them tomorrow? ...And what is fear of need but need itself? Is not dread of thirst when your well is full, the thirst that is unquenchable? There are those who give little of the much which they have...And there are those who have little and give it all. These are the believers in life and the bounty of life, and their coffer is never empty."
-Kahlil Jibran
*Sigh*

Someone asked me today as to what I want to do with my life...I didn't know what to say...there is just so much I want to do. I think I shall try and make a list of things I want to do before I die, would be alotta fun! ...but for now, I think no one else could put it in better words ;)

But another one of my favs from The Prophet would be:
"Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance."
