Background
Rumi teaches that love connects us to all of life.
It is the force that unites us with others, the world, and even the divine.
Through love, we bridge gaps and overcome isolation.

About the Author
Rumi was a 13th-century Persian poet, Islamic scholar, and Sufi mystic.
Born Jalāl ad-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī in what is now Afghanistan, he later settled in Konya, Turkey.
Rumi’s poetry is celebrated for its profound insights into love, spirituality, and the human experience, often exploring the connection between the divine and humanity.

Impossible? Not at all! Our calendar is free and brings you a daily philosophical insight with an image and a short exercise. The first and overarching exercise, of course, is patience—only one door per day!
Each image contains one or more hidden letters. When correctly arranged, they will form a meaningful phrase in our puzzle rally at the end. More details will follow as Advent progresses.
Feel free to leave comments with suggestions or share your personal experiences with the exercises. The most productive contributions will be published. Write directly in the comments below or contact us via email at admin@yourpaceyourplace.com.
Our calendar is a small pilot project for an 52 week philosophical calendar. If you like this idea, sign up for our mailing list, and we’ll keep you informed.
Share the calendar with your friends (and enemies—everyone can benefit from it 😁).
Have fun!
