💌 The Essential Rumi Translated By Coleman Barks
I have been a sucker for romance, poetry, songs, and physical touches ever since I first got my hold on it. Ever since I could ever get a mere glimpse of it. But, you know, there are moments of vulnerability in our souls that makes us think otherwise. Or mend your path in the other direction. Because in this world there are the books like these that make me rethink my utter belief and foundation I just laid out in the open before. This book surely took me forever to end. But, honey, will I sell my soul for it? To just read and feel it for the very first time. Undoubtedly, yes. Because throughout the read I had my space. A zone I could lead to and be alone through all the flipping pages. It was the kind of intimacy I hope everyone feels and experiences at least once in life. The intimacy that does not require a human touch. Because all you could succumb to in that goddamn moment is reading poetry late at night under the dim light. So at that moment, I know I am healed and content. As if I need no connection or interaction with a human being ever again.
