I will be doing more exploration of Rumi, his poetry and thought.
One place I am going to start is by reading "The Essential Rumi" translated by Coleman Barks.
"The message Barks conveys is of Rumi's ecstatic poetry, which, as Barks said to Bill Moyers, PBS journalist, is "trying to get us to feel the vastness of our true identity . . . like the sense you might get walking into a cathedral . . . what Jesus referred to when he said, 'The kingdom of God is within you.'
