I liked it very much. I know it speaks the truth. I read more poems from Hafiz in internet. I can straight away say that he is the autor who writes with most inspiring and shining words I have come across so far. It's good to become popular among people because what he says is what more should understand.iinshttp://havenourl.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-53625273272860578952010-10-17T13:01:55.495-04:002010-10-17T13:01:55.495-04:00Oh that sounds great, Nino, will track it down at ...Oh that sounds great, Nino, will track it down at the library!

I was first introduced to Rumi after reading Chasing Rumi by Roger Housden.

His renderings (based on other English translations of Rumi) are beautiful, but they are part Rumi and part Barks. For those interested in Rumi's true words, there are translations available.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05526751300724867465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-8932454759462289032010-10-16T13:09:06.549-04:002010-10-16T13:09:06.549-04:00So glad you enjoyed it.
