Rumi is more of a phenomenon in civilization than a person or poet. Born in Afghanistan, died in Turkey, wrote in Persian, left an indelible influence on Tajiks, Greeks, Pashtuns, and Indians, and became known as perhaps the world's most well-known poet. His poetry transcends cultures, beliefs, devotion, love, and the indomitable passion for life.
The Ultimate Rumi Collection has 3 of his best books - Essential Rumi, Bridge of the Soul, and The Book of Love.
The Bridge of the Soul excavates the interiors of silence. The Book of Love says 'there are lovers content with longing' and amazes you no end. Essential Rumi says 'My body is a large city. Much grieving in one sector but I live in another part'. That creates an image of yourself, contradicting yourself in the mirror.
Now on the shelf - Rumi, an uncontrollable river of life in time.
