Burn

Thanks to the fellow blogger who brought this quotation of Kahlil Gibran to my attention. 

Sometimes, especially in the deep night under the full moon, we feel that elusive yearning more strongly than ever. It is piercing; brilliant; devastating. And though we would at times cry for relief from its affliction, in truth, we cannot imagine our existence without it. 

If love were in the flesh I would burn it out with hot irons and be at peace. But it is in the soul, unreachable. -- Kahlil Gibran
