A Collection of Rumi: Quotes and Poetry
Alayna Miller - 2016
Rumi is one of the greatest poetical geniuses and spiritual masters in human history. His name stands for Love and ecstatic flight into the infinite. Today, Rumi is one of the most widely read poets in the west and has been described to be on par with Beethoven, Shakespeare and Mozart. During a 25 year period, Rumi composed over 70,000 verses of poetry focusing on diverse and varied topics. Rumi’s influence goes beyond nationalities and ethnicities with his work having been translated in numerous languages around the world. His work is mystical and intensely philosophical, with poems of fiery soulful expression, to passionate love verses filled with yearning and desire. Rumi describes the life of mystics as a “gathering of lovers, where there is no high or low, smart or ignorant, no proper schooling required.” He believed in a life journey following a love-based principle free of guilt, fear and shame. The bringing together of a wealthy nobleman and a poor wanderer serve as a reminder to us all that inspiration can come from anywhere and anyone can aid us in advancing our growth.
Forever Dublin (An Ireland Forever Short Story)
Olivia Hawthorne - 2019
I was the typical spoiled rich brat, I had money and looks and not a care in the world. When I went to Dublin, I expected to have a couple hot flings with hot men I didn’t know, then head back home and continue my studies. What I didn’t expect was to run smack dab into the arms of my former stepbrother and the man who crushed my heart. And what I didn’t expect was to find myself needing his help. And then needing him… Marcus O’Sullivan: It will be fun, they said. A couple guys from my law firm talked me into celebrating winning my first big case by taking a weekend away for a concert in Dublin. I figured I’d bang a hottie, hear some good music, and get back to the firm to keep working my ass off to make junior partner before I left my twenties. I never figured I’d run into the one girl in the world who could leave me speechless and full of frantic lust. And I didn’t figure that she would end up needing me as much as I’d always needed her.
