Status Updates From Ermiş

And a merchant said, Speak to us of buying and selling.
And he answered and said:
To you the earth yields her fruit, and you shall not want if you but know how to fill your hands.
It is in exchanging the gifts of the earth that you shall find abundance and be satisfied.
Yet unless the exchange be in love and kindly justice, it will but lead some to greed and others to hunger.

A girlfriend of mine had a small wedding ceremony about 10 years ago, quoting some of Gibran’s work throughout her vows, and gifted the guests a copy of this book. It is a short read, meant to give little bursts of hope or realization, and should be read throughout different points of life. Enjoying sorting through this again.
