Poetry Pharmacy
Why a Pharmacy? Poetry is prescription – a tool to understand and navigate the world.
Whether you are suffering from the stresses of the modern world or the pain of a broken heart or simply need a tonic for the spirits, there’s a poem to soothe every affliction of the soul
In Arabic, kaif haalok. In Persian, Haal-e shoma chetoreh. How is your 'haal'? What is the state of your heart at this very moment, at this breath.
How is your haal?
What is this haal that you inquire about? It is the transient state of one’s heart. In reality, we ask, “How is your heart doing at this very moment, at this breath?”
Your heart is beating, isn't it?
When I ask, “How are you?” that is really what I want to know.
