ITS NOT GIFT OF GOD , IT'S A LANGUAGE OG GOD TALKING TO YOU,

[Xsublime28xX]

This is so moving. I'm an atheist and I love this.

[MsMuhanji]

it's hard for me to express, sometimes my love for Rumi's work and the love effort that Coleman Barks brings to the translation of Rumi's work.

[danceswithcrayons]

Takes my breath away, I cannot speak. Only smile and wonder. Thankyou!!

[russwj]

i love rumi, love barks, and would prefer to hear the poem minus the music.. ..

[msvbuck]

SOOOOOOOOO beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[musmanfar82]

What a beautiful poem recited so movingly by an excellent poet. Only a great poet like Coleman Barks can read the work of another great poet so beautifully.

[yosedave]

the european faces just ruined it for me.....

[Xsublime28xX]

@yosedave What ruined it for you might be your bigotry, not european faces.

[laelamarie1]

@yosedave then Rumi is not in your heart and I am sorry

[spacecadet1869]

if there is such a thing as goodness in this world, then you can ask rumi about it. he'll tell you.. :o)

[mygoodname]

@lihaup79 you're correct. his name is arto tuncboyaciyan, he's an armenian musician

[TheFuzzyBard]

@mygoodname Arto is pretty cool. He work with Serj Tankian to make SerArt, and he also worked with System of a Down on some of their songs. At the end of Aerials is the song "Arto", which is a tribute to him.

You can find a lot of his work on youtube. Just type in his name.

Coleman Barks invaded the core of my existence some time ago with his beautiful style and dedication.

What Allah said to the Rose And caused it to laugh in full blown beauty, He said to my heart And made it a hundred times more beautiful... The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart....by Jalaludin Rumi

[rollingklouds]

"He" is the eternal Question... and the Answer.

Human, in the middle, defines himself as the separator in between.

[vaga0bond]

@rollingklouds I do believe that there is no he, no me, you.

he is me, you. As I am him, her, you.. and in middle its no matter being or not being..

I have a recording of Bill Moyers' program "The Language of Life" that features for a whole hour Coleman Barks and his mesmerizing interpretations of Rumi... I have watched countless of times ...
