Khalil Gibran's Philosophy, JFK, and I

Like Gibran, the mystic. An Arab wearing a robe, with a sword in his hands, battling the new modern era, and the colonials. Then he came to the U.S. and became a big city dweller. He never could forget that far away country’s consciousness and the humanness which is lost in the big metropolitan format and confinement. She remembers that little girl on the dirt road. We all came from far away.

The Man Who Changed Kennedy

Gibran wrote: "There are today in the Middle East, two men: one of the past and one of the future. Which one are you? Come close; let me look at you and let me be assured by your appearance and conduct if you are one of those coming into the light or going into the darkness. Come and tell me who and what you are. Are you a politician asking what your country can do for you or a zealous one asking what you can do for your country?. . . "
