Love's Ripening: Rumi on the Heart's Journey


Rumi - 2008
    Love is the meaning of our existence, the raw material of transformation, the glorious way of access to Divine intimacy. This teaching infuses the lyric verse of Rumi (1207–1273), the greatest of the Sufi poets. The poems in this collection, taken from among the master's many volumes of work, focus on one of his greatest themes: how love grows and matures for those on the spiritual path. Kabir Helminski and Ahmad Rezwani have crafted a translation that remains faithful to the original Persian while giving eloquent expression to the joy of Rumi's astonishing encounter with the Divine. As our love moves on to ever more refined and exalted objects, Rumi declares, the distinction between lover and Beloved becomes irrelevant—and wonderfully so: There is no Love greater than Love with no object, For then you, yourself, have become Love itself.

Mikhail


Nash Lantey - 2020
    What he did not account for nor anticipate was having a mate, much less a human mate. Maeve, who in her youth, is headstrong and obstinate is also witty, and courageous. She believes in and fights fiercely for the liberation of her people, which many a times places her in life threatening predicaments. Her position in Mikhail's life serves as both a weakness and an obstacle in his path for vengeance. Concurrently, Mikhail's presence in her's pushes Maeve to pursue her purpose more fervently, often without regard for the consequences that may arise. With their purposes placing them at odds with each other, what does that mean for their bond? Will Mikhail forsake his vengeance for his mate? Will Maeve give up her purpose for the sake of her mate? Can the bond withstand the pressures of the obstacles they face?
