So there are always going to be days when it is just not possible for me to sit down and write or create for you all. So I have decided that I am going to use those days as opportunities to share some sort of creative work that is "one of my favorites."
So today I would like to share this poem by Rumi, which has walked with me through many portions of my life. Hope you enjoy it! Find it below.
Keep peace and keep creating,
Parker <3

"Quietness"
by Rumi
Inside this new love, die.
Your way begins on the other side.
Become the sky.
Take an axe to the prison wall.
Escape.
Walk out like someone suddenly born into color.
Do it now.
You're covered with thick cloud.
Slide out the side. Die,
and be quiet. Quietness is the surest sign
that you've died.
Your old life was frantic running
from silence.
The speechless full moon
comes out now.
