The Illuminated Rumi
June 2014 Book of the Month
Given to me as a gift from my transcendental meditation teachers, The Illuminated Rumi is my favorite book to pick up and flip to any page for inspiration and insight. In fact, I just opened it to this beautiful poem;
Late, by myself, in the boat of myself,
no light and no land anywhere, cloudcover thick.
I try to stay just above the surface,
yet I’m already under and living within the ocean.
