The many shades of existence become the reality of what wisdom teaches humans to be. The conscious vision to see oneself in the mirror of self-reflection becomes the light that reveals the beauty of the human spirit. The Many Shades of Wisdom are the lessons of life that mold people with the perception of shifting time. How are meaning and purpose found in a world that no longer holds compassion in its heart? Who are we, and what do we want to become, is the conscious journey that the mind ponders in silent wonder. A Sufi poet is a quiet observer who paints life with mystical insight and gazes into the landscape of his imagination, bringing the infinite colors of light into his soul. Many Shades of Wisdom is written in two parts as a proverbial revelation of truth spanning the whole spectrum of humanity. Humans are bound to each other like two ends of a single string, moving and striving to achieve a meaningful existence that will make everyone whole. The mind's eye gathers the many shades of wisdom, and the fragments of experience become mindful reality, put together by the grace of loving hands.
