My first book of Rumi fell into my hands on February, 20th. It's title:
A Year with Rumi: Daily Readings. This book was given to President Obama as a gift from the author during the beginning of his first term as President. Rumi is the President's favorite poet. The poem on the day I received the book knocked my socks off and made me laugh at the same time.
Imagining is Like
Imagining is like feeling around
in a dark lane, or washing
your eyes with blood.
You are the truth
from foot foot to brow, Now,
what else would you like to know?
