I tell you: Suns Exist by Seema Kohli

I Tell You: Suns Exist 

As worlds go, ours is unique. Whether you believe in the big bang theory or the seven days story, one inalienable fact remains. We live in a mysterious, miraculous world. In a universe of stars, this third rock from the sun is the only one we know with ingenuity at its farthest depths and loftiest peaks. Sure, it has laws. And yet we’ve found ways to adapt, concoct and re-imagine our surroundings to make it a space for us to thrive.

It is this space we are now fighting for. In the face of grave environmental and political threats to our hard won existence, it seems arduous to contemplate a gentler time. And yet this is what Seema Kohli offers us. Birthed over the last few years, when a world wide pandemic forever altered our sense of invincibility, these works offer us an oasis. A space to reflect on life and its purpose, to reestablish our fading connection to our surroundings. A space to exist in all our resplendent multitudes. It is a world we must strive to bring to life. A world where as sure as the sun rises and sets, we assert our right to live free. A world where like the inescapable Rumi and his beloved Shams, Seema entreats us to believe: yes, suns do exist.
