Whilst drawing this , I was listening to wise Khalil Jibran, and it all seemed like a theme, like a beautiful message you’ve found for your soul , in bottle that was left on the shores of the sea ,by the waves… read it my dear , your soul might also learn to never accept anything “half” in your life , never accept what’s not completely for “you”
“Do not love half lovers, Do not entertain half friends
Do not indulge in works of the half talented, Do not live half a life and do not die a half death
If you choose silence, then be silent ,When you speak, do so until you are finished
Do not silence yourself to say something,And do not speak to be silent,If you accept, then express it bluntly.
Do not accept half a solution, Do not believe half truths,Do not dream half a dream
Do not mask it,If you refuse then be clear about it for an ambiguous refusal is but a weak acceptance
Do not fantasize about half hopes ,Half a drink will not quench your thirst
Half a meal will not satiate your hunger, Half the way will get you no where
Half an idea will bear you no results ,Your other half is not the one you love
It is you in another time yet in the same space ,It is you when you are not
Half a life is a life you didn’t live, A word you have not said
A smile you postponed ,A love you have not had
A friendship you did not know, To reach and not arrive
Work and not work ,Attend only to be absent
What makes you a stranger to them closest to you and they strangers to you
The half is a mere moment of inability ,but you are able for you are not half a being
You are a whole that exists to live a life …..not half a life.” ~Khalil Jibran
