well
I'm sure many of you have heard of this man's spiritual works, and poetic work
For those of you who don't know of Rumi or of the Sufi path you can check out some abbreviated poems and history here> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumi
Rumi believed that woman were the most perfect example of God’s creative power on
rumi also inspired many poets through out history.
Rumi's importance is considered to transcend national and ethnic borders. His poems have been widely translated into many of the world's languages and transposed into various formats. In 2007, he was described as the "most popular poet in America."
Rumi's works are written in the New Persian language and his Mathnawi remains one of the purest literary glories of Persia, and one of the crowning glories of the Persian language.
Share some of your personal experiences with his words,
or post a poem that you enjoy
my favorite are :
-The mystic dances in the sun,
hearing music others don't.
'Insanity,' they say, those others.
If so, it's a very gentle,
nourishing sort."
~Rumi
Suffering is Optional
The wound is the place where the Light enters you. ~Rumi
