One of 21 video poems in Four Seasons Productions newly released Moving Poetry Series - Three innovative new films - RANT * RAVE * RIFF. Only Breath was written in the 13th century by the Sufi mystic poet Jalal ad-Din Rumi and translated and recited in our film by Coleman Barks. Our politicians and generals would do well to absorb the lessons of this poem.

MUST be experienced in full sound on a big screen.

  • ... real experience (he has given up his body (practically), by these process first step: highest concentration on breath, afterwards you realise only the breath (as your own observer) body is complete transparent), thinking not possible, heart is speaking (only heart makes noise), darkness comes, you advance in the atmosphere, "there is not identity at all", you are one, nonduality travelling to the light, if you survive, you comes back into your own body, you realise, this is HUMAN BEEING !

  • @siglawoo Its important to know about ones history and culture and to passed it on to future generations. So if I am wrong for correcting people, then idk what to tell you.

  • @afgking904 This very Poem means it doesn't matter where you're from...please listen to the beauty of the metaphors!

  • Rumi was a Tajik (Persian) Poet from Balkh, Afghanistan which was a part of Old Khorasan and is now present day Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Southern Uzbekistan and Eastern Iran. We are all Persians but Please Dont call him Iranian because Iran is Western Persia and he was From Eastern Persia.
