Printable quote- Khalil Gibran

This quote is a part of The Prophet by Khalil Gibran.
"Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving"

I posted the full quote here as a printable in January 2012. It's one that seemed worth revisiting in a simpler version. I hope you enjoy it. Click the image below for a larger version to print.

Thankful, with a printable quote

"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit."

-Albert Schweitzer

This year, I'm thankful for my friends, family, and for all of the readers who make this page so much fun to do. The nice comments, encouraging emails and the people who use projects I post for acts of charity and kindness. Thank you all.
The last year has been full of a lot of grief and fear, but it's also been full of amazing moments and several of those amazing moments were from reader's comments and emails.

Thank you.
