When you unexpectedly wake to snow in April you must immediately crawl back into bed with your Rumi, hot tea, and all the kitties to wait for spring to come back

💭 the upcoming Emirates Lit Festival with so many award winning authors coming, including Bernardine Evaristo, Hala Alyan, Leila Aboulela, Cecilia Ahern, Candy Gourlay, Shannon Chakraborty, Rebecca Yarros - just to cite a few
💭 maybe the tagged book as it was shared with me by a special friend of mine, a kindred who happens to be in the elite forces
Thank you for the tag, @TheSpineView 💕

TheSpineView Thanks for playing! 3mo

Persian Poems | Peter Washington
Panpan

I can‘t say I really liked any of these poems. Saadi was okay.

My last Rumi poem of 2023. I don‘t think I‘ve ever enjoyed a daily reader so much, or ever planned to flip right back to the beginning before and spend a second year with one to see how the selections strike me differently on new days.

AnnR Nice photo and I like the teacup. Very colorful! 4mo

It‘s 410 BC & Xenophon leads a 10k strong army of Greek mercenaries, retreating from a failed attempt by their Persian paymaster, Cyrus, to seize the throne from his brother after their father dies. As they make their way back to the Black Sea & eventually Greece, they battle hostile natives & hardships caused by the terrain. Granted, it‘s a classic but it was a bit of a slog. It‘s repetitive & monotonous but, like Xenophon, I got there in the end

Bookwomble I hope you had a great festive and New Year holiday 😊 4mo
The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble Thank you Wombie! I did. Still no kitchen until 13th of Jan but took the wife and kids to Covent Garden for Xmas dinner. I hope you and Mrs Womble had a good one 4mo

My year with RUMI has been wonderful.
10 days left..

"Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes.
Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation."
- Rumi

kspenmoll This sounds like a wonderful way to start your day. If I can maybe I will try to do it for 2024. 4mo
TheBookHippie @kspenmoll @IndoorDame and I absolutely loved this this past year. 4mo
IndoorDame @kspenmoll highly recommend starting the day with this! It was the first thing I reached for almost every morning 💙 4mo
