Persische Nachtigallen (Persian Nightingales), 1917, Paul Klee, Artist, Swiss, 1879 - 1940 from the National Gallery of Art. Literary references permeate the works of Swiss artist Paul Klee, whose Persische Nachtigallen (Persian Nightingales) most likely alludes to the verses of the fourteenth- century poet Hafiz: Mortal never won to view thee, Yet a thousand lovers woo thee; Not a nightingale but knows In the rose-bud sleeps the rose.
In the gathering, I find the power of creativity.
In the gathering, I see sharing and emotional vulnerabilities put into a place to remake the present.
In the gathering, there is, gift by gift, selflessly given from one to the next.
I see a gathering of men, a gathering prepping potential, each sword here has the great ability to sharpen the next.
Self-realization has been uplifted in this gathering.
A circle that gathers together. | LH
