“Yesterday Is but Today’s Memory…”: Wisdom from Khalil Gibran

Let us know what you enjoy about the show!


Have you ever considered that our obsession with measuring time
might be missing the point entirely? Khalil Gibran's masterpiece
"The Prophet" offers us a profound alternative perspective that
could transform how we experience each moment of our lives.

Today I felt moved to share a beautiful passage from "The
Prophet" that speaks to the nature of time itself. Published in
1923, this timeless work continues to offer wisdom that feels
startlingly relevant to our rushed modern existence. Gibran
challenges our conventional understanding of time as something
linear that can be divided, measured, and controlled. Instead, he
invites us to recognize the timelessness that dwells within each
of us.

The passage I read contains some of Gibran's most breathtaking
insights: "Yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is
today's dream," and "that which sings and contemplates in you is
still dwelling within the bounds of that first moment which
scattered the stars into space." These words remind us that our
consciousness participates in something eternal, beyond the
constraints of clocks and calendars. When Gibran describes love
and time as "undivided and paceless," he offers us a powerful
metaphor for understanding our own boundless nature.

I hope these words provide a moment of reflection in your day.
What would change in your life if you embraced the timelessness
Gibran describes? How might you move through your days
differently? Take a moment to contemplate this wisdom, and
perhaps you too will find yourself inspired to "let today embrace
the past with remembrance and the future with longing." Remember
to subscribe for more moments of reflection and inspiration that
help us all live more fully in the present moment.
