When visual artist, poet and philosopher, Kahlil Gibran was concerned that his physical illness and inability to create would disappoint his benefactress Mary Haskell, she responded to him with the most gracious quote: 'Your work is not only in books and pictures. They are but bits of it. Your work is YOU, not less than you, not parts of you... These days, when you "cannot work" are accomplishing it, are of it, like the days when you "can work". There is no division. It is all one. Your living is all of it; anything less is part of it. - your silence will read with your writings some day, your darkness will be part of the Light.
