So interesting that people want to argue about his nationality and his religious views. I find in his writting a soul that transends all religion and nationality that is at the very soul of humanity. Like Rumi and Hafiz he embodied the soul of oneness it self a universal being who will always remembered and influence the collective consciouness for all time. Thank you Salma for reminding us of the beauty that lies at the very essence of life.

Salma, All the success to your new film. I absolutelly love The Prophet. A must have book in any home. As a Mexican woman myself, I am so proud of you to have achieved so much success in your professional life. You represent us well!

Selma isn't a human being having random spiritual experiences. She's a spiritual being having a human experience.

She's so talented and intelligent! I love her.

I love the Prophet when I first found this book I never let it go... 3 years later I still have this book☀️🌱💗

Thanks so much SALMA, thank you for your soul´s beauty ... and for being a brave woman who dreams and create... The PROPHET has always been in my hearth. God Bless You ALWAYS.

one of the best books that i ever read

The Prophet and Masnavi ( Rumi) - Two books that drives me.

Gibran wrote a master piece. Its my favorite of all the books Ive read. It transcends every cultural political geographical division that Ive experienced. All the challenges, all of pleasures...life in all of its complexities and the simpliest joys and satisfactions... through poetry...but thats not only poetry. It addresses so many of lifes challenges in a way that anyone, anywhere, in any set of circumstances can understand...and embrace for their own deeper understanding, growth, and connection to the devine. It the expression of life and the amazing depth of the human experience of it. Gibran was more then a poet. He was more then a visionary. He was artist with a gift to express in the written word what most loose in the use of words. Truly an amazing man.

I discovered this today...

FRIENDSHIP IS ALWAYS A SWEET RESPONSIBILITY , NEVER AN OPPORTUNITY,,,..KHALIL GIBRAN

lmao Salma and the interviewer were great together, good chemistry and funny, great interview 👌

I had the book as younger lady and it was truly inspiring and very spiritual. As young as I was, I saw something quite unique in Khali, that made a special impression on my life.

I loved this interviews, Salma Hayek is so Inspirational, a strong lady God Bless her !!! :D

I think it was a Brilliant idea,cannot wait to see it!!!loved the book😁

Profound and definitely right on observations. I have even more respect for you.

What an inspiring and enthusiastic discussion. Can't wait to see the movie.

Damn she's beautiful!

Hollywood doesn't want Salma Hyake. Excuse me if I spelled that wrong. I love this woman. Not only is she a beautiful woman outside she is beautiful inside. I was wondering why I haven't seen her lately. I kind of wish she would have explained why she knows or believes why Hollywood black listed her, but I also love how she answered the question...Who Cares. Lol

Felicidades a Salma. Un logro mas.

We need more writers...tell your story!

The Maronites in Lebanon, were originally of the Eastern Christian Orthodox branch, as Khalil Gibran himself lamented that they were absorbed by the Catholic church around 1799.

Whoever thinks Salma Hayek is just a hot body and gorgeous face you have another thing coming my friend...she is so inspirational and insightful, not to mention incredibly endearing and adorable...what a great role model...that last bit killed me lol

Omg Salma. Please tell the story of Selma and produce Broken Wings. Gibran has written so many beautiful stories, but Broken Wings to me is the most beautiful of all. Please ... I'd be most happy to be involved in any way ... 🙏

amazing movie thank you for realizing this dream Salma

I really enjoyed checking your content up close. Very good!👍👍

You are the genius, thank god for talent

Khalil Gibran's book "The Prophet"shared by my friend Marissa who I grew up with even til us both at College locally & working at "The Mall" @ retail store "Jean Country" She got engaged to Mark~ thier 2 pea's in a heart speak pod soul mates. These 2 resonate such a deep love evolving towards elder respite together. That witnessing vision knowing of them for me was a beautiful moment. So........... During lunch breaks together at "Jean Country" she would read through, out loud to me, Gibran's Poems. You see she wanted to pick a poem to resite to Mark at the Alter on their wedding day. This book meant the world to her heart speak, since her Mother & Father would share his poems growing up. I was so in aw of her depth to share asking me to listen and discern with her~ which poem to pick, to recite to Mark on the Wedding Alter the day of their Union. She's keen to my whismy humor & a mix bag of being diligent discerning grounded heart knowing to being a skecptic too, just like her. Two sisters that never grew up w/ having a sister bonding moment. I forget the Gibran Poem Marissa chose for her sharing to Mark at the Alter of Union. Yet I remember so many touching poems, as she read, said to her at one point keep reading the poems to me, but only you will know the align expression within Gibran's Poems the One to share w/ Mark from your heart speak union & what poem expresses for you....... . It was this one day on another lunch break & she read the Gibran Poem "On Children" After we both had tears in our eyes, goose bumps, speachless after nodding, crying mixed emotions, the good, bad, ugly, indifferent...to a deep sigh, yes to whimsy humor banter after, like a scared clearing of cathartic residue & yeah make peace with starting al New Chapter on the evolving Life Path and hugs. Lunch over, we're back on the retail floor at Jean Country selling Jeans........ In these times in 2023 Khalil Gibran's Poem "On Children" ~ Book The Prophet~ is Paramount NOW~ to Truly Embrace the Sacred Spirit of this Poem for Children & Generations forth. Khalil Gibran~ Poem: On Children And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, Speak to us of Children. And he said: Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness; For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

Speak on it, Salma!!!

What I find astounding is the sheer ignorance of people who comment here. Does a wisdom that's coming from an arab become of less value, cause if that's the case, your opinion is also of less value to an arab....

God bless and keep you always

Your accent is beautiful son tus raices, feel proud of it.

good salma

This book is well know because Gibran Khalil Gibran wrote it

Is Salma, Almitra in the animated movie? Is Salma the little girl who had lost her voice and found it in The Prophet?

That wall plaster crack behind Salma. Geez

the epistolary mistress of Khalil GIBRAN May ZIADE has just been translated into French for the first time her work is: darkness and light - published by Harmattan and prefaced by a former French Prime Minister

omg omg omg

She is a modern Leonardo

🙄💙🌱🌸

Why, is only borrowed money in the economic system stupid? Why, should people be paid, not to have children, with money that has never been borrowed? Why, should people not be paid money that has never been borrowed, when they start having children? The answer to all three Questions is. They will start borrowing more money if they have children. There are many reasons why Only Borrowed Money in the economic system is BAD. Only borrowed money in the economy caused the Great Depression. People increase in mental capabilities, have fewer children, need jobs, or money. Wealthy people need their money to create the next product or business. The world needs money. Improve the Economy.

Don't analyse the author fools. Enjoy and analyse the product...

Jesus was Arab..... I love the book but the guys nationality is completely irrelevant. If you think it is important, I suggest you read the book.

Well I'm Latin ( Mexican ) I like the book, I may watch the film . But Salma your English is not the best ( I mention that because she many times mention that Latin don't speak English) .

Why everybody forget that Khalil Gibran was Maronite Catholic, Christian, while every time emphasizing that he was Arab?

Seriously. Is there no boundries for American pollution of intellectual property? Even "The Prophet" By Khalil Gibran? When will Disney kill Genesis?

Enough of this apotheosis of Kahlil. He was an OK writer but not a good poet. His English writings were co-written by his benefactor Mary Haskell. His English was not good enough to write the Prophet in English. She ended up marrying a 75-year-old man from Savannah after she wasted her life and money and intellect on Kahlil. She was a giver. He was a taker. As for his influence in Arabic, he helped usher Arabic Literature into the Romantic era, otherwise, he is rarely mentioned among the modern poets of "Mahjar" or migration poets. Some of his most celebrated quotes are on marriage when he is actually promoting infidelity under the guise of spirituality ! if you do not drink from each other's cup whose cup do you drink from? This is the eternal problem with vague, obscure aphorisms---Any meaning will do.

Journalist lack of Knowledge, Gebran is not a Arab, he is a Lebanese Maronite Christian descended from Phoenician.
