PROJECT VII: Epigraph

You lack a foot to travel?
Then journey into yourself
And like a mine of rubies
Receive the sunbeams' print!
Out of yourself-such a journey
Will lead you to your self,
It leads to transformation
Of dust into pure gold!

—Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi (1207-1273)
translated by Annemarie Schimmel
