Quietude: A Prologue

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBxNdyT4vBU&t=5s Opening Widsom’s Door “The quieter you become the more you are able to hear.” Many believed Rumi to be quite simple; in reality, her silence spoke of a wisdom that few understood.  She came into this world a stranger, and she left as a stranger.  It was rumored that she remained in silence for […]

Cyrus had one […]
