I can't recommend this book highly enough. It took me a year to read, but it transformed and enriched my worldview. It supported me through profound loss, grief, and lostness. In such a state, the poems become immensely meaningful, like water to a person in a desert. Rumi's words make me feel that any horrific situation is just as God wants it to be. He comes across as immensely loving, accepting, joyful, crazy.
