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!

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.

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.
