This first collection of art and poetry was inspired by my conversation with Nature and Spirituality and was named after verse 53:17 of the Quran, The eye did not waver… These particular lines inspired the desire to remain present in merging worlds; a possibility born from weaving in the wide steps taken from my Sufi path with Rumi, through indigenous wisdom, and the many Guides and Ancestors that walk with me. The work also reflected the merging of my Pakistani heritage with growing up in a northern English town.
