Description
"And the people said to him, " Speak to us of Love."
And he raised his head and looked upon the people, and there fell a stillness upon them. And with a great voice he said:
When Love beckons to you, follow him
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you, yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you, believe in him
Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you, so shall he crucify you.
Even as he is for your growth, so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast."
From 'The Prophet' by Kahlil Gibran

stunning photo.. I love Kahlil Gibran
This is stunning and otherworldly, and the text/poem accompaniment is perfect...ah...love...yeah, it makes you try to get to Moscow for somebody, and the trip is about as long and harrowing as a walk across a landscape such as this! Ah...but that's life. I love the details of this, the otherworldly mood and cast of it and the POV is perfect! The colors are nicely subtle and compelling. This is great work!
What a beautiful photo! Love the perspective!
