Rumi's Little Book of Life
Rumi's Little Book of Life: The Garden of the Soul, the Heart, and the Spirit | Rumi
8 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
From Madonna to Deepak Chopra, celebrities have been recording and embracing Rumi's poetry for the past two decades, creating a resurgence of interest in this 14th century Sufi mystic. Rumi's Little Book of Life is a beautiful collection of 196 poems by Rumi, previously unavailable in English. Translated by native Persian speakers, Maryam Mafi and Azima Melita Kolin, this collection will appeal to Rumi lovers everywhere. This collection of mystical poetry focuses on one of life's core issues: coming to grips with the inner life. During the course of life, each of us is engaged on an inner journey. Rumi's Little Book of Life is a guidebook for that journey. The poetry is a companion for those who consciously enter the inner world to explore the gardens within--out of the everyday "world of dust"--through an ascending hierarchy that restores one's soul to the heart; the heart of the spirit; and in finding spirit, transcending all.

Poetry is generally not my strong suit but Rumi is one I have in my collection. He could possibly have either been born in #Tajikistan or #afghanistan . So am counting this as a check for #readingasia2021 for Tajikistan :)

At our most recent literary salon, our friends who hosted gave out Rumi poems as parting gifts. 😊

I go threw fazes when it comes to poetry mainly because I don't understand it but every now and then a poem comes up and it touches my soul and reminds me to breathe and stop.
The world goes too fast sometimes for me to be comfortable and that's when the darkness creeps in but we keep on fighting. 🤟♀️📚
