This month’s art features the poster “Stop The Words Now (Rumi)”
“Stop the words now / Open the window in the center of your chest / And let the spirits fly in and out.”
These translated lines are from the poem “Where Everything Is Music” (translated from the original Persian) by 13th century poet, scholar and theologian Rumi. They speak both to authentic living, and to the need for action in troubled times. In this poster, originally made for the Macalester College Center for Religious and Spiritual Life, a lone figure sits among flowers underneath an archway of lush green plants. Their chest opens up to reveal a similar archway with another sitting figure inside.This oversize poster measures 10″x22″, and features vibrant bleed-to-edge colors printed on medium-heavy 80lb. cover stock.
