I’ve been a fan of rumi since the first book that i bought about his written poetry and this book made me love it even more with an entry about life from the almighty that you can go through it when believing in him

Poetry is not my strong suit but how to deny it, it goes straight to the soul.

What did I think? 

A little book with a big heart written by one of the greatest poets from the Middle East. 

An abundance of words can only describe a fraction of how beautiful Rumi’s poetry truly is. Each poem flows through to the next and if I were to quote my favourite line I’d have to quote the entire book. Rumi’s piety emanates through each page and even though I just recently discovered his poetry, it feels as if I have known it for so much longer. 

After a long debate of which quote I would choose to convince you to indulge in Rumi’s poetry, I decided on this 

-
What sorrow takes away from your heart 
it replaces with something better. 
Without the fury of thunder and lightning 
the plants will be scorched by the sun. 
Be grateful for all you receive,
good and bad alike, for it may be a gift
