Truly, the photos have added depth to the profound words. It's as if the photos were taken just to give a form to these very thoughts. Beautiful!

I couldn't agree more with you about Rumi. My favourite quote, “Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.”

Shital, this combination of Rumi's poetry and your photography is truly magical. Rumi's words have a timeless beauty that, when paired with your images, create a deeply moving and immersive experience. Your reflections on how both poetry and photography capture the essence of a moment are spot on. Thank you for sharing this beautiful blend of visual and literary art. It's a wonderful reminder of the power of words and images to inspire and heal.

I’ve never come across Rumi but these word are touching, as are the accompanying photos, they certainly are greater than the sum of their parts.

Your ability to craft language with great photos in an always moving away is truly extraordinary. Not just a really great photographer you are also a wonderful wordsmith.

I love everything you do, not just because of its depth and meaning, you come across as authentic, real and introspective , at a time when such human characteristics are not in great supply.
