Listen "The Prophet"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textIn this luminous episode of Hope is Kindled, we turn to Khalil Gibran’s timeless masterpiece The Prophet, a book that has guided hearts for more than a century and continues to sing to the human spirit. Blending poetry and parable, Gibran’s words invite us to reflect on love, work, freedom, joy, and sorrow, reminding us that life’s beauty and pain are intertwined threads of the same tapestry.We explore Gibran’s life between East and West, the frame of The Prophet and its enduring wisdom, and how its voice harmonizes with the great texts we’ve journeyed through, including Self-Reliance, Meditations, Leaves of Grass, The Alchemist, and even the ancient cadences of Ecclesiastes. Together they form a chorus of authenticity, virtue, unity, resilience, and spiritual freedom.I also share the personal story of how The Prophet came into my life, offered by a dear friend, and how it became a companion through dark and searching days, a reminder that words can heal when the heart is ready to listen.In the end, we discover that Gibran’s message is not about doctrine but about being: that “work is love made visible,” that “joy is sorrow unmasked,” and that to live with grace is to live with hope.Support the show
