They say a parwana doesn’t think before it flies into the flame. It knows the fire will burn and still, it goes closer. That it’s foolish, doomed, a creature of obsession.
But aren’t we all like that? Drawn to something we know could hurt us, and still choosing to go closer.
A person, a dream, a moment, it doesn’t matter. What matters is how alive it made us feel.
Truth is, the parwana doesn’t chase light because it’s blind. It chases it because, in that glow, it sees itself alive, certain, free.
The Parwana Weaved Shawl is a reminder that maybe that’s what we’re all searching for too. That one feeling that makes everything else fade away for a moment. Yes, it burns. Yes, it ends. But at that moment it also gives us the courage to love fully, live wildly, and to be free.
