Over the last year I spent each morning reading one of these poems. It has been a joy. Some days I forgot and read the poem later in the day. Some days it was the first thing. As the year progressed, I learned how to start my day with ease, without anxiety, and with a smile. Even the sad poems, the deeper thought provoking poems...all left me with a smile.

I have spent the entire year of 2016 reading this book of translated poems. More often than not, they're impossible to understand without a lot of background and knowledge of Rumi's time and culture. Sometimes, though, a phrase would hit me right in the heart and allow me a glimpse into the universe.
