Really only Rumi could say so much in so few words … Image Locale And this is love— The vertigo of Heaven Beyond the cage of words, Suddenly to be naked In the searchlight of truth . . . ~Rumi~ Music of the Sky: An Anthology of Spiritual Poetry
Love Truth Joy

Love is a commonly used word, so frequently do we hear it that it’s become both under valued and over valued. Over valued in it’s fickleness and under valued for the unexamined depth of what it really means. I’ve sought to discover its true meaning. It’s been a life long question and the answers change [...]

Image by Rassouli Come close to me, I will whisper in your ear Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes around in another form.

There are several translations of this Rumi poem. This version is the one sung in this particular youtube video.

Image Locale Here is another “found” poem I have created. This time I’ve brought Rumi and Rilke together. No small task! Great poets they were but not contemporaries as are Mary Oliver and Wendell Berry in my previous found poem. This particular found poem starts with two lines from a Rumi poem and then alternates [...]
