In a noisy world, one woman chooses silence.  Rumi, a mysterious wanderer, carries only her Little Red Book and the guidance of two ancient guardians: Big Mama, the Earth, and The Maestro, an ageless tree rooted in the hills of Sintra. What begins as a journey of escape transforms into an odyssey of awakening—one that draws artists, villagers, merchants, and seekers from across the globe to sit in her quiet presence.

Through silence, Rumi teaches.
Through stillness, she reveals.
Through her words—offered sparingly, like jewels—she discovers the Profound Love Codes, a timeless truth that dissolves barriers and awakens the heart.

From the innocence of a child offering a flower, to the desperation of a wealthy merchant seeking peace, to the revelation of universal wisdom beneath The Maestro’s branches—Quietude invites you to witness a journey that is both story and mirror, fable and field guide.

Readers of The Little Prince, Siddhartha, and The Prophet will find in this novella a companion for their own search for meaning. More than a tale, it is a call:
to sit, to listen, to remember the silence within.

Praise for Quietude

• “A contemplative parable that lingers in the heart long after the final page.”

• “Rumi’s story is less about answers than about presence—and in that presence, the reader discovers their own truth.”

• “A spiritual classic in the making.”
