Rumi: One-Handed Basket Weaving: Poems on the Theme of Work

by Rumi, Coleman Barks (Translator)

Overview

Sufis refer to themselves as "workers" and "lovers" interchangeably, and the action that needs doing always involves a companionship with the spiritual world. In these poems from the Mathnawi, Rumi finds metaphors for that mysterious cooperation, the friendship within which one does fearless work born of love.
