Today is Rumi Day on the Iranian calendar.
"This world is a prison, and we are its prisoners,
Dig into the prison and liberate yourself."
Rumi
~ I created this piece inspired by Rumiβs verse.
To be free, you must begin by freeing yourself,from the thoughts that trap you, the pain that holds you, and whatever has become a prison within you.
~ Sometimes, freedom begins with recognising the cage we have been carrying within us.

Rumi has always been a remarkable teacher to me.
Every verse carries a philosophy of awareness.
In one half-line, he says:
βWithout affliction, you remain unripe.β
This is whole I want to say through my collection,
"Light Beneath Darkness".
