The prophet, Al-Mustafa who has lived in the foreign city of Orphalese for 12 years is about to board a ship which will carry him home. He is stopped by a group of people, with whom he discusses many issues of life and the human condition. The book is divided into chapters dealing with love, marriage, children, giving, eating and drinking, work, joy and sorrow, houses, clothes, buying and selling, crime and punishment, laws, freedom, reason and passion, pain, self-knowledge, teaching, friendship, talking, time, good and evil, prayer, pleasure, beauty, religion, and death.

“There’s something so universal about that sensation, the way running unites our two most primal impulses: fear and pleasure. We run when we’re scared, we run when we’re ecstatic, we run away from our problems and run around for a good time.”

Go get it

^ This is Takeshang Gompa, Tiger’s Nest Monastery in Bhutan. I would literally love to stay in that monastery and get up at sunrise and do all the things the Buddhists do, one day! More pictures of the beautiful Bhutan can be found here.

^Next we have Tuvalu which is isolated in the middle of Micronesia. It is the 3rd least populated country on Earth the 4th Smallest!

Now this is in ^ Japan, a country I have always wanted to visit since I was little. I have actually heard recently that Japan is overrated but this won’t stop me from eventually visiting it. Who can resist their beautiful countryside and culture?

Last but not least New Zealand. A country I have only heard good things about, a must me thinks, a place to visit before I die!
