Text: The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran
🕊️ Why This Text?
Some books don’t age.
They breathe.
Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet is one of them—a poetic wellspring of soul truths that pierce the veils of time, religion, and culture. It doesn’t preach. It invites.
For our first Living Book Club session, we begin where so much begins:
On Love. The ache and the ecstasy. The beauty and brutality. The divine unraveling.
📺 YouTube Reflection: Watch + Listen
Rev. Gin reads the chapter “On Love” from The Prophet and offers a heart-led reflection afterward—meant not to analyze, but to soften and open.
You’re welcome to listen in silence, journal as you go, or simply let the words ripple in your field.
No pressure. No homework. Just presence.
🕯️ Selected Quotes for Reflection
“When love beckons to you, follow him,Though his ways are hard and steep.”
“And think not you can direct the course of love,For love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.”
“Even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you.”
✍️ Reflection Prompts

What part of love am I currently resisting—or longing for?
What does divine love ask of me now?
