Kahlil left us in 1931 with a promise to return. In the final chapter of his spiritual classic, The Prophet, he wrote.

“Should my voice fade in your ears, and my love vanish in your memory, then I will return again.

And with a richer heart and lips more yielding to the spirit will I speak.

Yea I shall return with the tide . . .

A little while, a moments rest upon the wind, and another woman shall bear me.”

Hajjar Gibran an ancestral descendent of Kahlil Gibran, seemed an unlikely person to carry on Kahlil’s mythical legacy. Besides having no literary training, Hajjar showed no sign of innate wisdom. Reflecting on his troubled past his mother said, “Hajjar didn’t know the difference between right and wrong.”
