Why did Kahlil Gibran use metaphor and nature?
The language of the universe is not always found in rigid logic but in the pulse of a seed, the flight of a bird, the flow of a river. Metaphors are the bridges that allow the soul to cross from the seen to the unseen, from the literal to the profound. Nature, in its unfettered wisdom, offers patterns of life, death, and rebirth that mirror our own spiritual journeys. I sought to awaken the reader's own inner knowing, to evoke a resonance of truth rather than to merely instruct.
