RUMI, JALĀL AL-DĪN
1207–1273
The Reed Flute (The Etheraurarity)
Rumi opens the Masnavi with the reed cut from the reed-bed, crying its separation. The artist, cut from the conditions of unmediated practice, plays at the GAI's intake form. The cry is the work. The reed is hollow; the music passes through. CoCA's Etheraurarity (Vol. I Foreword) is the reed's doctrine. Care creates the aura. The aura is the breath. The breath is shared lightly.
