The Simorgh

Hoopoe
Nightingale

Owl
Sparrow


Valleys of the quest, love, understanding, independence & detachment, unity, astonishment and poverty & nothingness.


In order to reach the heights of immortality, you must realize your nothingness and renounce your self pity, vanity and self love.


The song that encapsulates the essence of the Conference of Birds:

O by Coldplay

Flock of birds
Hovering above
Just a flock of birds
That's how you think of love

And I always look up to the sky
Pray before the dawn
Cause they fly always
Sometimes they arrive
Sometimes they are gone
Fly on

Flock of birds
Hovering above
Into smoke I'm turned and rise, following them up
Still I always look up to the sky
Pray before the dawn
Cause they fly away
One minute they arrive
Next you know they're gone
Fly on
Fly on, ride through
Maybe one day I'll fly next to you
Fly on, ride through
Maybe one day I can fly with you
Fly on
