In one line: A literary genius and one of the greatest writers to ever live; a journey to unpack the depth of his writing and a great way to challenge & expand your mind, and contemplate life.
- The Wanderer — we’re all family, part of one collective organism in the universe; story telling connects humanity
- Garments — material items can mask who we really are and alter perception but that doesn’t change who we really are
- The Eagle & the Skylark — reminded me of the Bedouin (nomadic Arab people live in the desert) proverb — “me against my brother, me and my brother against my cousin; me, my brother and my cousin vs strangers.”
- The Love Song — be careful about what you say to who; words can be powerful if you attach to them
- Tears & Laughter — no matter what your emotion is, the world and people will always give it a label
- At the Fair — the grass is always greener on the other side; perception of events critical; be careful about judgment
- The Two Princesses — society has a tendency to pass judgment which on the surface is rarely representative of truth or reality; shall not desire what others have
- The Lightning Flash — religious beliefs are just labels that ultimately don’t change who we are nor can they change the course of the universal fate
- The Hermit & the Beasts — perception of what you believe acts like a placebo; if you believe someone has wisdom (even if they don’t) you may trust their guidance
- The Prophet & the Child — unclear
- The Pearl — unclear…with beauty comes pain?
- Body & Soul — unclear…desire and love are not the same?
- The King — yielding the power to the people and putting the decisions in their hands gives them agency; hence by putting the voice of the people over his power, the people felt as though they were each a King themselves and had a voice
- Upon the Sand — unclear
- The Three Gifts — things are not always what they seem on the surface; clever gestures can be done to achieve a specific goal
- Peace and War — things are good until they’re not
