• ON THE BEAUTY OF LOVING AND BEING LOVED

    The one who loves

    is like the Sun,

    irradiating the light of Love.

    The beloved one

    is like the Moon:

    beautiful but reflecting only

    the beauty of being loved.

     

    May you become like me,

    I who am your Sun

    and illuminate my spirit

    with your light, my Love,

    so that I may become like you:

    beautiful, reflecting also

    the beauty of being loved!

     

    (Beirut, 10.8.1982)
