"A Spark in the Emerald Forest" depicts a moment of truth in the story of Khosrow and Shirin, the moment when two hearts ‘re-connect' with one another while amongst Nature. Nature is where the pulse and heartbeat of the Divine emanate in its purest and most potent form, uplifting both heart and spirit and reminding us of our connectedness; helping us to recognise the same Divine spirit within one another.
Khosrow and Shirin, in this scene, experience a moment of pure love, emanating from their spiritual hearts that recognise one another despite their earthly manifestation never have met. The river between them represents the flow of love, energy and truth. It amplifies the awareness of their spiritual origins from the same ultimate Source. This affinity they feel is a sense of wholeness that comes from recognising the Divine reflection in one other.
Occurring in a wild forest, there are no man-made structures in sight, only emerald lands and glistening waters bathed in golden light. Nature, in its perfectly balanced harmony, acts as a concert platform, igniting a sense of togetherness and unity between Man, Nature and Spirit.

This sense of unity is something that we can all strive for by consciously working to recognise the spark within each other and the world around us. This is our opportunity to form a collective movement toward understanding that we are all one and part of the same Whole.
