This issue turns inward—toward breath, attention, and the immediacy of the Divine—asking how contemplation reshapes our perception after a season of upheaval. In his discourse, Alireza Nurbakhsh reframes fairness as a Sufi virtue beyond the Golden Rule: give precedence to others over oneself, never expect fairness in return, act within lawful ethics, and guard against ego-driven notions of justice (echoed in Rumi’s lion–wolf–fox parable). Essays deepen the theme through Mark Nepo’s “Inwardness,” Mohammed Rustom’s “One Step to God,” and Noman Baig’s “Phenomenology of Breath.” An interview with Peter Sellars, a film series review on Yunus Emre, and poems—beginning with Nurbakhsh’s “Boundless Love”—trace devotion, remembrance, and the practice of seeing with the heart.
