The Prophet — Kahlil Gibran

I read this book for the first time in 2015 and experienced a visceral sensation of new neural pathways being formed (I don't know that I mean that literally, but it felt that way). I bought ten copies immediately and gave it to everyone (oops, exvangelical, but that's for another time). I got my septum pierced and my first tattoo and went on a solo mountain hike the next week (lol, she was 26 and ready to Be Herself in the World™️). I have met people from all over the place who have had their mind and heart opened by The Prophet. I always love the conversations it starts. Would loooove to know who on here has read it and what your experience was and what your favorite passages are!

This is my beloved, deeply worn, pocket-sized copy (with German footnotes I can't read?) that I actually got in the lobby of the ACE NYC back in 2016. Such a special book.
