community of the spirit - curated by Kelly Krugman

A curation by Kelly Krugman, Curator at SAVVY Contemporary - "There is a community of the spirit. / Join it, and feel the delight / of walking in the noisy street, / and being the noise... / Close both eyes / to see with the other eye. / Open your hands, / if you want to be held. / Sit down in this circle // Why do you stay in prison / when the door is so wide open? / Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking. / Live in silence. / Flow down and down in always / widening rings of being." — from "Community of the Spirit" (13th Century) by Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī, Sufi mystic and poet
