Dec 17th We Bow To Rumi
On the anniversary of his death. This is one of my favourites.
“Come, come, whoever you are.
Wonderer, worshipper, lover of leaving.
It doesn’t matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vow a thousand times
Come, yet again, come, come”
Here’s some ways to get to know him better:
Explore a "A Celebration of Rumi" created in honor of the 800th anniversary of Rumi's birth in 2007, which UNESCO declared the International Year of Rumi, it includes links to 30 readings by admirers of his poetry, YouTube videos, interviews about his impact, and more.
