Read by Shane Morris

This video aims to bring the poem "On Talking" of Khalil Gibran, to life. Khalil Gibran (1883-1931) was a Lebanese-American writer, poet, and visual artist. He is best known for his book "The Prophet," a collection of poetic essays that has been translated into over 100 languages.

In this poem, Khalil Gibran (The Prophet) speaks about the way talking stops people from thinking. You talk when you are not at peace with your thoughts or seek to escape the solitude of your heart. Some people seek those who are talkative because they fear being alone.

The poem in this video is narrated by Shane Morris (an award winning voice actor). We took care to edit the audio as perfectly as we can. It took us months of learning before we were able to edit the voice like this.

We believe that there is wisdom in these historic texts. We are very hesitant in creating video's with different moving backgrounds, because we believe it might contradict the wisdom that is displayed in the text. We hope you appreciate the effort!
