Description
The painting “The Whisper of the Wind” is inspired by the poem of the same name by Rumi, the 13th-century Persian mystic and poet which is inscribed into the painting.
To truly understand and grow from life’s lessons, we must learn to listen—beyond the noise—to the subtle signs of guidance that surround us. This requires focus, awareness, and the courage to follow where life calls us. Such a path asks for faith and attentiveness.
In Rumi’s spiritual vision, sacred signs are traces of the Divine woven into the fabric of the material world—gentle reminders that all things are connected and part of a greater unity. To align the heart is to bring it into harmony with this divine flow, to surrender the ego, and to awaken to a deeper spiritual truth.
Even in something as soft and fleeting as the murmur of the wind, the full design of the Divine can be felt because the sacred is not distant or hidden—it lives in the present moment, quietly waiting to be perceived. The wind, imperceptible and gentle, becomes a metaphor for the subtle ways in which life whispers to us and the soul receives divine guidance. The invitation is clear: slow down, listen, and let the heart attune to that sacred presence.
The wind carries a whisper,
A massage from the divine,
Each gust a breath of love,
Each breeze a sacred sign.
Listen to the whisper, my love,
And let your heart align,
In the winds gentle murmur,
We find the divine’s design.
