"Conference of the Birds" - Farid Ud-Din Attar (Iran, 1140)

My 2nd poetry video...Reading and discussing my favorite passages of this medieval Sufi epic allegory written by a Persian pharmacist. I found it breathtaking and would place it among my favorite works of literature.
I hope that someone finds this meaningful or relaxing to listen to.

Listened until the end and it was like a journey from mild curiosity about the book in the beginning to a book that might start a soul searching journey at the end. Thanks for sharing it with such candor. The background lighting was a plus too.
