Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.
All quotes are by one of my favourite poets, writer, Khalil Gibran and Photography is used with permission from one of my favourite people, my friend Sebastien Assoignons. The art is by Me, Lesley. I was unable to get it scanned because of the size of it. When I took the piece to my usual scanning place and asked them to send it out, they refused because of the eggshells. They said they were too delicate to take responsibility and that they would scratch the scanner. As a result the pieces here were photographed by me. I apologise for the quality – we can not be all things!

Lovely post, Lesley. The quotes and the artwork are perfectly matched. The changes in the lighting truly accentuated the words. Out of sorrow sometimes comes a renewed spirit.

Gibran has always been a favorite of mine since reading “The Prophet”. Your photography is a perfect accompaniment to his words. The use of the eggshells is so creative.

My sister gave me a copy of the Prophet so many years ago. It is a little gem of wisdom. I used eggshells for the obvious reason. She likely has to walk on them a lot (keep her mouth shut as is the way of certain cultures) and she looks so fragile.
Sometimes the craziest innovations are really pretty clear. thanks LuAnn !

A lovely post, Lesley… Gibran always seems contemporary, his words and poetry never date… and a beautiful picture.. the figure suggests such suffering and the architecture such worlds of civilisation and thought… I loved the lighting in the different versions too..

He never grows old. The simplicity of his words have been re-hashed so many times by modern ‘gurus’ with no doubt of their origins. I wonder if he was revered in his time. Thanks for coming by Valerie!

It is good to back in the blogisphere again, Lesley! I’ve enjoyed reading your last two posts and I found your artwork to be beautiful and inspired!! I just used a Khalil Gibran quote in one of my graduate papers today, so it was apropos that you wrote using his words.
“If the teacher is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind” – Kahlil Gibran
May you enjoy a creative and happy day!!!
