A Kahlil Gibran Quote For Today

December 9th, 2008 · 4 Comments

A street musician.

“And if there come the singers and the dancers and the flute players, buy of their gifts also. For they too are gatherers of fruit and frankincense, and that which they bring, though fashioned of dreams, is raiment and food for your soul.”

Kahlil Gibran

Maya Muses: I always give to street musicians. I myself traveled with my guitar and clarinet throughout a good part of Europe for a few years when I was young, and made money as a busker!

We always do too…
I loved the street musicians in Madrid!
Many of them were fantastic…

And when in London,there were musicians playing in the underground…and sometimes I followed the music and ended up on the wrong train…
Think I have to go to bed again…

Good quote!

That’s one of the things I love about the Paris Métro as well, there are always musicians playing down there, especially in the winter time.

Hope you feel better soon!
