Description
Oh soul,
you worry too much.
You have seen your own strength.
You have seen your own beauty.
You have seen your golden wings.
Of anything less,
why do you worry?
You are in truth
the soul, of the soul, of the soul.
-Jalal ad-Din Rumi (Persian poet)
The naked soul is a rare thing. I doubt any one of us has ever seen it—especially in ourselves. "On My Sleeve" plays on the old cliché of “wearing one’s heart on one’s sleeve”. To expose one’s true feelings, to be in touch with the truth of oneself is to be naked. The hand delicately supports the stitching as if it were a precious jewel on a pedestal—it is not quite holding that intangible “thing”, and yet it keeps it in its place.
