The Essential Rumi - reissue
The Essential Rumi - reissue: New Expanded Edition | Coleman Barks
This revised and expanded edition of The Essential Rumi includes a new introduction by Coleman Barks and more than 80 never-before-published poems. Through his lyrical translations, Coleman Barks has been instrumental in bringing this exquisite literature to a remarkably wide range of readers, making the ecstatic, spiritual poetry of thirteenth-century Sufi Mystic Rumi more popular than ever. The Essential Rumi continues to be the bestselling of all Rumi books, and the definitive selection of his beautiful, mystical poetry.

Rumi, as translated by Coleman Barks.
I can vouch for line one, but defied line two and read some poetry with my first-thing mug of tea. The rest will take ongoing care and attention.

#PoetryMatters #Sun

The sun is love. The lover,
a speck circling the sun.

A spring wind moves to dance
any branch that isn‘t dead.
Something opens our wings ...

From, The Turn :
Dance in your blood.

My beautiful book of Rumi given to me by @Tanisha_A ❤️

Darkness is your candle.
Your boundaries are your quest.

“Shine like the whole universe is yours.” -Rumi
Rumi is my favorite poet. His wisdom seems so simple, but profound and I find, difficult to practice. I find peace and beauty in his words. This is a skinny book, but any quote I read rings true. Do you read poetry? Do you have a favorite?

#GetMovin Day 22: Rumi, I truly believe, was one of #TheGreatest poets who ever lived. This sketch done by Riddell is perfect for that airy, free spirit vibe that is characteristic of Rumi‘s soulful poems.

Ericalambbrown @dsfisher I typically have it on my coffee table book stack. I flip through it and read a poem or two when I need to find something pretty to offset the ugliness in the world. 7y
kishore_kk I love Rumi too. And @dsfisher believe me its contents are equally beautiful. @Ericalambbrown by any chance, do you also read Urdu or Hindi poetry/ Shayari? 7y
Ericalambbrown @kitabi_keeda I haven‘t! Do you have any recommendations for good translations? 7y

I am your flower garden and your water too.
I have come all this way eager for you,
Without shoes or shawl.
I want you to laugh, to kill all your worries,
To love you, to nourish you.
