Kaulah - Short Animated Film - Concept
Wednesday, September 12th, 2007I have been working hard on my Major Project at RMIT AIM for the last couple of months, I am making a short hand-animated film based on a poem by the Sufi poet Rumi. Here is a translation of the poem by Coleman Barks:
The Water You Want
Someone may be clairvoyant, able to see the future, and yet have very little wisdom.
Like the man who saw water in his dream, and began leading everyone toward the mirage.
“I am the one with heart-vision. I’ve torn open the veil.”
So they set out with him inside the dream, while he is actually sleeping beside a river of pure water. Any search moves away from the spot where the object of the quest is.
Sleep deeply wherever you are on the way. Maybe some traveler will wake you.
Give up subtle thinking, the twofold, threefold
multiplication of mistakes. Listen to the sound of waves within you.
There you are, dreaming your thirst, when the water you want is inside the big vein on your neck.
— Mathnavi IV: 3226-3241
